Chapter 293: First Arrival in Quang Ninh

Zhu Hao saw that Guo Zixuan had already reacted, so he nodded with a smile and said:

"You're right!"

"Liaoxi is indeed still there, and it has not fallen!"

Guo Zixuan listened to Zhu Hao's words, completely dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say.

Zhu Hao looked at Guo Zixuan and didn't speak, so he said directly:

"That's it! This has come to this, so this king will not say much! ”

"I hope that Pingnanhou will guard Shanhaiguan!"

"Generals go down and prepare, and we will rush to Liaoxi in three days!"

"Let's break up!"

Zhu Hao said and waved his hand to let the generals disperse.

Zhu Haozi dug a pit for Guo Zixuan, and let Guo Zixuan stay at Shanhaiguan because Guo Zixuan didn't trust him, which Zhu Hao had to do.

Zhu Hao actually thought about letting Guo Zixuan stay in Shanhaiguan before returning to Shanhaiguan, Zhu Hao's reason was that Guo Zixuan was not successful enough to fail.

And Guo Zixuan is not particularly obedient to management, but Zhu Hao himself knows that if he directly orders Guo Zixuan to stay in Shanhaiguan, Guo Zixuan will definitely not accept it.

Zhu Hao was hindered by Guo Lao's affection, and he didn't want to really tear his face with Guo Zixuan.

Therefore, Zhu Hao thought of such a way this time, let Guo Zixuan jump out by himself, question him, and give him an excuse to leave Guo Zixuan in Shanhaiguan.

Guo Zixuan listened to Zhu Hao's decision, although he was very unconvinced, but it was indeed he who questioned Zhu Hao first, which made him unable to refute Zhu Hao's decision.

Therefore, Guo Zixuan could only snort very dissatisfied, and then withdrew from the meeting hall.

Zhu Hao dealt with the problem of staying at Shanhaiguan, so he wrote to the court to protect Guo Zixuan as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, which can be regarded as Zhu Hao, who completed the old minister Guo and entrusted him at the beginning.

Speaking from the heart, Zhu Hao actually doesn't hate Guo Zixuan, but feels that Guo Zixuan lives a very real life and is not hypocritical at all, but even so, Zhu Hao can't say that Guo Zixuan stays by his side.

After all, no commander is willing to leave a restless subordinate in front of him before a big war, which is entirely likely to lead to the defeat of a war because of this.

Zhu Hao left Guo Zixuan to garrison in Shanhaiguan with such thoughts.

Three days later, outside the Shanhai Pass, Zhu Hao led a thousand cavalry, led Guan Yu, Qin Qiong and other generals, and went to Liaoxi.

After a few days of marching, Zhu Hao and others arrived, under the city of Guangning, an important military town in western Liaoxi of the Ming Dynasty, Governor Wang Huazhen went out of the city to greet him, and after Zhu Hao read out the holy decree, he began to take over the military defense of Guangning.

This governor Wang Huazhen gave Zhu Hao the feeling that he was still a relatively good talker, and nothing unpleasant happened during the entire handover process.

This made Zhu Hao can't help but look up at this Wang Huazhen a few times, thinking that this governor is a person who understands the overall situation and the general situation, and he is also extremely respectful to him.

But in fact, these are just Zhu Hao's wishful thinking, the reason why Wang Huazhen handed over Guangning's military defense so honestly,

Because as early as before Zhu Hao arrived in Guangning, Wang Huazhen received a secret letter from Wei Zhongxian, in which he told Wang Huazhen that this letter king could only be outwitted, not attacked.

This made Wang Huazhen very obedient on the surface, but Zhu Hao did not notice Wang Huazhen's disguise, which also made Zhu Hao almost die because of it in the future.

Of course, these are all afterwords, after Zhu Hao entered Guangning City that day, he asked Wang Huazhen about the dynamics of Liaoxi:

"Governor Wang, you have been in Liaoxi longer than this king!"

"I don't know what important things have happened in Liaoxi recently?"

"Governor Wang, have you found a Houjin army of less than 30,000 soldiers?"

The reason why Zhu Hao asked Wang Huazhen this was because he was wondering where the remnants of Huang Taiji's defeated army were, and whether they had retreated to Liaodong or wandered in Liaoxi.

Wang Huazhen listened to Zhu Hao's inquiry, and after thinking carefully for a long time, she replied:

"Lord Qiqi, since Weichen took over the military administration of Liaoxi, he has not found the Houjin soldiers and horses!"

"Weichen, I have also checked the military intelligence records, and there is no record of the Houjin soldiers and horses entering Liaoxi!"

Zhu Hao listened to Wang Huazhen's words, and said secretly in his heart:

"In this way, how did Houjin's army get to Shanhaiguan?"

"Where are these soldiers and horses at the moment?"

"Could it be that the other party will not be able to become invisible?"

Zhu Hao thought like this, frowning and shaking his head slightly, feeling that his idea was too absurd.

After a while, Zhu Hao first let go of the doubts in his heart and asked Wang Huazhen:

"Governor Wang, how many soldiers and horses do we have near Guangning City?"

After Wang Huazhen finished Zhu Hao's words, he hurriedly replied:

"Your Highness, there are about 140,000 soldiers and about 80,000 horses!"

Zhu Hao listened to so many soldiers and horses, and his heart was a little excited, he had never commanded so many soldiers and horses, he immediately said:

"Governor Wang, where are these soldiers and horses now?"

"This king is going to parade now!"

Zhu Hao's words were full of impatient emotions, which made Wang Huazhen secretly slander:

"Father-in-law Wei also overestimates this King of Letters!"

"As soon as I came to Liaoxi, I didn't understand anything, so I had to parade!"

"Isn't this a typical kid who is so happy with his achievements?"

"As for what you can't attack, you can only outwit!"

"I want to know this, he is such a gentleman, he shouldn't have handed over Guangning to him just now!"

Wang Huazhen slandered in her heart, and said with a sincere smile on her face:

"Lord Wang, you don't know anything!"

"These soldiers and horses are now distributed around Quang Ninh City to be armed!"

"If you want to parade, I'm afraid it will make a mistake in the defense area!"

"You see if this will work, there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in Guangning City!"

"Why don't you take a look at the soldiers and horses in Guangning City?"

Zhu Hao listened to Wang Huazhen's words, frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure on his face:

"Governor Wang, this king is taking over Liaoxi by the emperor's will!"

"It's a matter of course for this king to observe the demeanor of the generals of Liaoxi now!"

"Could it be that the 140,000 soldiers and horses in Guangning can't be dispatched by this king?"

Wang Huazhen listened to Zhu Hao's unkind words, and hurriedly said:

"Lord Wang, what are you talking about!"

"The prince didn't say that you were ordered to take over Liaoxi!"

"Just with your identity, when you come to Liaoxi, you should also obey the dispatch of the prince!"

"How can there be a statement that the prince doesn't understand?"

"Lord Wang, you are so careful!"

Zhu Hao listened to Wang Huazhen's words, nodded slightly, and then continued to speak:

"Since this king is able to send these 140,000 soldiers and horses,

But the governor of the king just passed the buck to the king, and only let the king see the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city.

Could it be that Governor Wang, you don't want to let this king see these 140,000 soldiers and horses? ”
