Chapter 287: Liaoxi is still here
After Zhu Hao rushed into the royal hunting ground, he went straight to the emperor, and some eunuchs and guards who accompanied him on the road did not dare to stop Zhu Hao when they saw Zhu Hao's murderous appearance.
Zhu Hao rushed directly into the emperor's line like this, and after Zhu Hao entered the line, he saw his emperor's eldest brother looking at him with a shocked face.
Zhu Hao hurriedly saluted and said:
"Brother and courtier, see Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Hao, who was giving a gift, and then came back to his senses, and hurriedly said:
"Brother Huang, why did you come back?"
"Isn't there something wrong with Liaodong?"
As soon as Zhu Hao heard that his emperor's eldest brother didn't know anything, he viciously glanced at Wei Zhongxian, who was beside his emperor's eldest brother, and Wei Zhongxian saw Zhu Hao looking at him, his body trembled in fright, and he took a step back.
The reason why Wei Zhongxian was so afraid of Zhu Hao was completely because Zhu Hao angrily cut off his arm that day, which made him fall into the sequelae.
After Zhu Hao glared at Wei Zhongxian, he did not target Wei Zhongxian, but directly talked about the situation in Liaodong:
"Your Majesty, before the younger brother arrived at Shanhaiguan, Liaoyang City had already been lost, and the entire Liaodong region was lost to the enemy!"
"Half a month ago, Jianyu stopped the soldiers and horses from attacking Shanhaiguan, and his subordinates desperately guarded Shanhaiguan, fortunately ensuring that Shanhaiguan was safe!"
"But because there are not many soldiers in the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the next attack of Jianyu!"
"My brother has written to His Majesty three times to ask for reinforcements, but he has not seen any reinforcements, so he can only come back in person and ask His Majesty to send reinforcements!"
Although Zhu Youxiao is a lover of handicrafts, he does not know anything, he knows that if Shanhaiguan is lost, then Beijing will be in danger.
Therefore, after listening to Zhu Hao's words, Zhu Youxiao was suddenly shocked, turned around and looked at Wei Zhongxian with an unkind look:
"Zhongxian, is there such a thing?"
"Why didn't I see any of the king's pleas for help?"
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed:
"Long live Huiyu, the slave did see King Xin's call for help, but let the slave stay!"
"So the preview wasn't presented!"
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Zhongxian's death-seeking answer, and was very puzzled in his heart, how could Wei Zhongxian dare to admit it so openly?
Isn't he afraid that his eldest brother will be angry and behead him directly?
When Zhu Hao was doubting in his heart, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and said angrily:
"Wei Zhongxian, such an important matter, you dare to go behind my back and hide it without reporting it! What are your intentions? ”
"Could it be that you colluded with Jianyu and intended to rebel?"
Wei Zhongxian listened to Zhu Youxiao's angry words, and his face did not change and kowtowed:
"Your Majesty's honor!"
"Although Liaoyang is lost, the area east of the Liaohe River has fallen!"
"But in the area west of the Liao River, there is also the military town of Guangning, with 130,000 soldiers!"
"Therefore, the slave thought that King Xin's twists and turns might be untrue, and he had already sent the governor Wang Huazhen to Quang Ninh to check the situation!"
Wei Zhongxian said, took out a letter from his arms, glanced at Zhu Hao, and then raised his hands above his head and said:
"The day before yesterday, Wang Huazhen had already written to the minions, saying that he had successfully taken over Guangning City!"
"The garrison in Quang Ninh City is intact, and the soldiers are well fed!"
"As long as Guangning is still there, it is absolutely impossible for Jianyu to cross Guangning and attack Shanhaiguan!"
"According to this, the slave left the letter king's recital unpublished!"
"Long live Mingjian, please!"
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Zhongxian's words, and immediately said angrily:
"Wei Zhongxian, do you mean to say that this king lied about the military situation?"
As Zhu Hao spoke, he grabbed Wei Zhongxian and dragged him out, and said as he dragged it:
"Come on! Come! Come! ”
"You bastard, come over to this king!"
"This king will take you to Shanhaiguan now!"
"Is this king the hell, he just fought a bloody battle there!"
The more Zhu Hao spoke, the more excited he became, Zhu Hao could bear that he was framed, but thinking about dying in front of Shanhaiguan, his guards and soldiers, Zhu Hao couldn't accept Wei Zhongxian's nonsense no matter what.
Wei Zhongxian was dragged by Zhu Hao like a dead dog, and even explained again and again:
"Your Highness, let go of the minions!"
"The minion didn't say that His Highness lied about the military situation!"
"But what the slave said is also true, and the slave estimates that Jianyu should be after the capture of Liaoyang,
Take the opportunity to smuggle across the Liao River and make a detour to the pasture of the Mongolian Wuliang Habu (now Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province) to attack Shanhaiguan! ”
"Fortunately, His Highness is here, so that Shanhaiguan will not be lost!"
"Although the servant has left His Highness's recital, please rest assured, Your Highness,
The slave has ordered the governor Wang Huazhen to deploy defenses along the Liao River,
The minions promised that Jianyu would not arrive at Shanhaiguan again with a single soldier! ”
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Zhongxian's words, frowning slightly, he knew such a big thing, Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to lie to him, otherwise Wei Zhongxian would be dead.
In this regard, Zhu Hao couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, it was all because he was too nervous about the importance of Shanhaiguan at that time, and forgot that there was a military town in western Liaoning and Guangning.
Especially when he saw Houjin's soldiers and horses arriving at Shanhaiguan, he thought that Liaodi was lost, and this wrong psychological hint made Zhu Hao forget about this Guangning City in western Liao.
After Zhu Hao was sure that what Wei Zhongxian said was true, he let go of Wei Zhongxian, because when Wei Zhongxian finished explaining this, Zhu Hao had no reason to pull Wei Zhongxian anymore.
In fact, Zhu Hao, who was familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, remembered that the Battle of Guangning took place in the second year of the Apocalypse.
But because of a series of butterfly effects, Zhu Hao's memory of the Ming history of his previous life became weaker and weaker, and as soon as Wei Zhongxian said it, Zhu Hao vaguely remembered the record of the Battle of Guangning.
Hearing that the important town of Guangning was still there, Zhu Hao was somewhat relieved and no longer worried about the situation in Shanhaiguan, but this made Zhu Hao worry about another matter.
Because Zhu Hao remembered the records of the Ming Dynasty, the loss of Guangning was caused by the discord between the two people.
Zhu Hao remembered that after the loss of Liaoyang, the imperial court appointed Xiong Tingbi as the strategy of Liaodong, and at the same time ordered Wang Huazhen to be the governor, and the two were in charge of the defense of Liaodong.
But this Xiong Tingbi is a member of the Donglin Party, and Wang Huazhen is a member of the Donglin Party, and the two secretly competed, resulting in discord between Jingfu, the loss of Guangning, and the retreat of the Ming army to Shanhaiguan.
Zhu Hao knew that now because he was ordered to pass through Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi might not be appointed as Liaodong Governor again, but this Wang Huazhen still became the governor and controlled the important town of Guangning.
Zhu Hao didn't believe that this Wang Huazhen had the ability to defend against Houjin's attack, but how to take back control of Guangning City from this Wang Huazhen was another headache.
Zhu Hao thought in his heart that it was originally a simple military operation, but now it was mixed with political factors, which made him a little worried, and his expression was extremely solemn.
