The hour will pass (about nine o'clock in the morning), the sun is hanging obliquely in the air with a sense of dryness and heat, outside the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, Chang Yu said solemnly to Wu Mengming: "Be cautious and cautious, strictly keep secrets and not leak them, and send more people to strictly guard that he is not allowed to see anyone except the emperor!" ”

Wu Mengming nodded vigorously: "This is our fat water, the lowly will be careful, the factory is relieved, when he is escorted into Beijing, he doesn't know who it is, and others don't know, except for the lowly subordinates and the Black Tiger Battalion under your command, even the Beijing camp doesn't know!" ”

"That's all for it, you be more careful, if something happens, you won't be able to carry your ten heads" Chang Yu admonished, Wu Mengming had a bitter face: "Now I finally understand what you mean by hot hands!" ”

Chang Yu smiled, patted Wu Mengming on the shoulder and turned to leave, walked to the intersection and got into a carriage, Chen Suole led dozens of guards to go straight to the Guangqu Gate in the outer city with the car guard.

In the car, Chang Yu was lying down and squinting, still sleepy, Chun Xiang sat opposite and whispered to him to report to him that there were various things in the city recently, and Chang Yu Gujing had no waves.

Until I heard: A few days ago, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo's three troops fought fiercely with the thief army outside Puzhou City, and they couldn't hold each other for half a day, and each of them retreated ten miles!

Chang Yu opened his eyes violently, for most of the month, he had drawn troops from Zhending Mansion to the north of King Qin, and then fought with Dolgon several times, and he had no time to take care of the war against bandits in the south, and he was shocked when he heard the news at this time.

Puzhou is also the ancient ferry port of the Yellow River, Pujin Ferry is also where Gao Jie and others have chased the thief army to the Yellow River!

"I'm afraid that the thieves have crossed the river!" Chang Yu sighed, Chun Xiang didn't know: "How can I see it, the information is not detailed"

"Gao Jie and the other three soldiers and horses should have the upper hand in pursuit and killing all the way, why does the intelligence say that the battle in Puzhou is stalemate, why did the thief army suddenly skyrocket?"

"Cover the main force to cross the river!" Chunxiang reacted: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so desperate at all!" ”

"Come on, I didn't expect them to drop the thief, or wait for me to take the time to clean him up" Chang Yu said with regret, if there was no Dolgon suddenly entering the customs, I was afraid that Li Zicheng was already in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't help but sigh, this may be the destiny of heaven, he has changed a lot when he crossed over, but some things still happened as usual, such as the Qing army still entered the customs!

God obviously won't let him have any smooth sailing.

"Gao Jie, these three dogs, they don't hesitate to chase and kill the thieves for thousands of miles are just for money, they should focus on robbery, and they won't fight with the thieves" Chunxiang hated his teeth: "Since you bite for thousands of miles and don't let go, it can be seen that you have a lot of sweetness, big brother, these people are really given to them, can't they come back in the name of the court?" ”

Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "Want to come back?" Don't be naïve, they don't go back and cry and beg for rewards, the emperor is considered to burn high incense" said and sighed: "At this time, there are very few people who can contribute, no matter how hateful he is, but in the end he has contributed to some dog food, and he has done things, take it, and give me two or three years and I will slowly clean them up."

"So what's next? Let them go back individually or bring in support? Chunxiang asked.

Chang Yu frowned: "At this time, I don't know what the specific situation is over there, even if the thief army crosses the river, it's just my guess, you need to report it to me in time after you make sure" said and shook his head with a wry smile: "If those three hooligans want to let them run thousands of miles to attack and kill the Tartars, hehe, I'm afraid they may not see people until they are old, unless they ...... There is dog food! ”

The car went out of Guangqumen, Chunxiang jumped out of the car, turned over and returned to the city with a few Dongchang fans, and the old nine who had been waiting for a long time led the black wolf battalion to go east and west with the car, Chang Yu was physically and mentally exhausted and fell asleep in the car.

It's not that he is calm, but Dolgon has jumped out of the encirclement at this time and is heading south, he wants to chase but has no heart, and the soldiers are tired in several battles, otherwise even if the tired soldiers catch up, they will give their heads away.

And he needs to think carefully about the next countermeasure, chasing is to chase, to see how to chase, because as long as he catches up, it will be a fight, and the two sides are definitely the kind that leaves no room for him, he has to deal with it carefully.

As for the hostage of Azig, he decided for the time being after consulting with Emperor Chongzhen and the cabinet bosses last night that he would not take the initiative, refuse, or be responsible!

In short, whoever mentions peace talks first loses!

As for when and how to talk, it depends on who is at a disadvantage on both sides and who mentions it first. So the performance of the Ming army is particularly important next, or the old saying, the battlefield determines the negotiating table!

Walking and resting all the way, Changyu resisted Xianghe County, a small city that survived the storm and rain.

At this time, Huang Degong's main army was resting outside the city, Li Yanbu, Teng Xiangwei and Jin Wuwei were also nearby, and Li Yan was recuperating from his wounds in the county government.

Xianghe City is small, but the people are unprecedentedly enthusiastic, after all, their lives are saved by these bloody Ming troops, thanks to Dai De, who really has the money to contribute and make a powerful contribution, helping the Ming army to save the dead and help make fires and make meals, donate food and money...... Wait, the Ming army refuses to donate money!

Chang Yu's entry into the city did not alarm many people, and when he entered the county with Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, and others, he saw Li Yan's face pale and bloodless, and he was really angry and distressed in his heart: "General Li, you have suffered!" ”

Although Li Yan had several wounds on his body, he was not worried about his life, but he was also seriously injured, and when he heard Chang Yu's voice in a daze, he woke up instantly, and he struggled to get up but was held down by Chang Yu: "No need to be polite."

"I am willing to be dealt with by military law!" Li Yan spoke weakly, Chang Yu shook his head with a wry smile: "General Li unexpectedly completed the task of sniping the enemy and captured the prince of the Tartars, Azig, and built a great achievement, this governor has played the emperor last night to ask for merit for the generals, and the emperor himself said that General Li will be rewarded for the first merit!" ”

All the generals were overjoyed and congratulated Li Yan one after another, and Li Yan couldn't hide his joy between his eyebrows: "Shameful to accept, ashamed to accept!" "In these years, all the martial artists have taken the royal reward as the supreme glory of their ancestors, and for a thief like Li Yan, he is even more thirsty, and he has finally won fame with all his might, how can he not be happy!

In the evening, the soldiers brought food, everyone sat around and feasted together, Chang Yu personally fed Li Yan and won the envy of the generals, Li Yan was even more excited and choked up, even Li Muxian, who has always been mean, did not figure out whether the little eunuch deliberately won people's hearts or had a deep brotherly relationship with Li Yan.

Eating is not wrong, Chang Yu first told Gao Jie and the three of them about chasing the thief to a big battle by the Yellow River, hearing this news, the generals were so shocked that they were happy, and Li Yan and Li Muxian and other strategists turned their heads quickly and thought that the thief was very likely to have crossed the river to the west.

"If the thieves cross the river to the west, they won't be able to catch up, it is better to transfer Gao Jie and others over to surround and annihilate the Tartars, but their troops are rebellious, and if there is no benefit to lure them, they will definitely refuse, do you have a good plan?" Chang Yu patted his head and was at a loss, trying to figure out how to transfer Gao Jie all the way, but he had no plan!

Hearing this, everyone shook their heads, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and the three of them knew what urine sex they had, and they couldn't afford to be early, and they were fighting with the strongest Qing army on such a long road, how could he turn it upside down if he couldn't avoid it.

"And if you will be anointed by the captives of the tartars?" Li Yan proposed, Chang Yu thought about it and shook his head, "The three of them are all human spirits, and soon after the Tatars entered the customs, they were pursued by us all the way, and they were captured, and this little oil and water can't arouse their interest."

"If this is the case, it is better to settle it on the spot and guard the Yellow River defense line to prevent the thieves from taking advantage of the Tartar chaos here to send troops again......" Li Muxian said softly, after all, the main opponent of the Ming Dynasty at the moment is the thief army and the Qing army, and at the same time with the Ming army, if it weren't for Chang Yu in the imperial court, he would have been helpless and waited for death, but even if the little eunuch was busy, he just didn't let the building collapse, but he could no longer withstand a little external turmoil, since the Qing army could take advantage of the thief army to enter the customs, The thief army will also make a comeback when the Qing army is in trouble.

You must know that when the Qing army entered the customs, Li Zicheng retreated south, and then was chased and killed all the way, lost his armor and abandoned his armor to the extreme, and lost six or seven tenths of the way all the way, not to mention the Qing army's entry into the customs, but if he crossed the river to find out the Qing army's entry into the customs, who can guarantee that it will not come to the east again!

So it is necessary to garrison troops on the banks of the Yellow River to keep an eye on them!

This point will be thought of by the imperial court later, but at this time, Li Muxian just took the first step.

Chang Yuzi can also think of this, but he doesn't want Gao Jie to garrison a few at all, first, if Li Zicheng makes a comeback, these goods may not be intercepted, and second, his troops are like bandits, and the local people stationed in the area have suffered, so it is best for him to take them wherever he wants, so this group of people will not dare to be lawless.

The best candidate for garrison is none other than Zhou Yuji, no matter his connections or influence in Shanxi, as well as his familiarity with the local terrain, no one can stand out, and he dares to fight!

However...... Zhou Yuji wanted to follow him to pursue the Qing army, but Shanxi couldn't be defended without soldiers!

"There is no absolute perfection, so how about ordering Gao Jie and other troops to defend Shanxi, and then adjust the defense after driving the Tartars away?" Li Yan suggested that everyone seconded it.

Chang Yu nodded slightly, Shanxi can't be defenseless for a day, and although Gao Jie's department is a scourge, he can always scare the thieves, and he has no bait to send him to help at this time, even if they agree to send troops to help, this thousands of miles away When they arrive, it will be the year of the monkey!

At most, there will be news that the thieves will cross the river to the west, and the imperial court will inevitably think of the matter of garrisoning Shanxi at that time, if the porridge is cold after they have a bit of a fight, so Chang Yu decided to immediately send people back to Beijing to report to the imperial court, and the military department lowered the military order, so that Gao Jie's department was stationed along the Yellow River to prevent the thief army from coming back.

Chang Yu was ordered to be embarrassed, and his military exploits were outstanding, and the military boss Shi Kefa, the governor of the Beijing camp, Wang Jiayan and even Shoufu were kind to him, so at the moment, his proposal was agreed to by the imperial court, and they were very willing to have someone to fight the thunder, after all, what went wrong Chang Yu was responsible, and they fell to the side to see the joke.

That's right, the court at this time is such a urine, not to mention that the minister is like this, even Chongzhen is like this! In history, when Li Zicheng swung his knife to the capital, the court was still tearing up whether to go to the rescue of Wu Sangui in the end, such a simple thing, no one dared to stand up, Chen Yan of the cabinet, Wei Dezao has been dragging it out, why, just for fear of responsibility, once Wu Sangui enters the customs, Ningyuan outside the Shanhai Pass will be occupied by the Qing army, and Emperor Chongzhen will inevitably take the blame for them......

It is clear that the emperor can make a holy decree, why didn't Chongzhen take the initiative to make an order, he didn't want to be responsible, otherwise in the future, the cabinet would let him sin his edict every day, and scold him every day that you ordered Wu Sangui to enter the customs, and now Ning Yuan lost it......

Junchen was afraid of being responsible for playing the ball like this, and as a result, he lost Daming.

So now those big guys in the court are talking about the little eunuch on the one hand, and they are jealous that he is favored by his achievements, and on the other hand, they are secretly happy, this thing really likes to come out of everything, and all thunder is taken on themselves.
