Wang Zezhi waited for two days, but did not wait for any news from the imperial court.

However, he waited for Wang Xian, who bought the horse.

"My lord, my subordinates are fortunate to live up to their orders and buy back 800 high-grade war horses from Outer Mongolia."

Wang Zezhi listened to Wang Xian's report and frowned.

He bought more than 2,000 war horses for Wang Xian's silver taels, and how could he buy back only 800 horses.

"My lord, my subordinates originally bought 2,300 war horses, and the soldiers and horses of the Tatars were robbed of 1,000 horses, but fortunately, my subordinates bought a Tatar guide in Guihua City, so they were fortunate to save their lives."

Wang Xian knew what Wang Zezhi was wondering about, and immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Then there should be thirteen hundred horses."

Wang Zezhi said puzzled.

"My lord, the border army, when I passed the customs, the border army intercepted some of them, plus the distance was far away, and some died, and these are the only things I brought back."

Wang Xian said cautiously.

"It's hard work, go down and rest first, and leave the horses to the handymen on the other side of the stable to take care of."

Wang Zezhi patted Wang Xian's shoulder and motioned for him to rest first.

"Yes."

With these war horses, Wang Zezhi immediately formed a thousand-man cavalry.

Fortunately, many of these people have served as soldiers, and there are not a few who can ride and shoot.

After the cavalry was formed, after a brief training, Wang Zezhi began to implement his plan.

During this period, Wang Zezhi ordered Liu Yang to imitate the holy decree and create dozens of false holy decrees, and at the same time, ordered Bai Yu to praise Chongzhen in the tabloids for being far away in Gaotang but strategizing against the enemy's opportunity, and ordered Datong Mansion to clear the field in advance and concentrate troops to resist the Tatars.

This is also Wang Zezhi's plan, he wants to falsely preach the holy decree.

At the end of May, north of Datong.

More than 70 Guanbao cities, including Zhenbian, Zhenchuan, Hongci, Zhenlu, Zhenhe, Zhenqiang, Polu, Zhilu, Weilu, Ninglu, and Desheng, came to ride and read the holy decree.

These cavalrymen were selected by Wang Zezhi from among the sergeants who could read and hyphenation.

The content of the holy decree is to clear the wilderness and concentrate troops to retreat to Datong Mansion.

In addition to these forts, there were more than 800 fire piers, which also received the will.

"Carried by heaven, the emperor said... The Tatar army of 100,000 is about to go south, and he specially ordered Datong Mansion to clear the walls and retreat to Datong Mansion. ”

The cavalry who came to read the decree finished reading the decree at a fire road pier on the Great Wall outside Datong, put it away, and planned to return.

"Wait!"

The general flag in this pier stood up from the ground and looked at the proclamation cavalry suspiciously.

Although he had never seen the holy decrees, he also knew that the holy decrees were read by the celebrant eunuchs, and when it was the turn of the cavalry to read them.

"Presumptuous! The holy purpose is this, do you want to disobey it? ”

The cavalry shouted and asked, this is Wang Zezhi's explanation, and no one can be allowed to see the holy decree, because the holy decree is fake.

"Don't dare, the last general just has doubts and wants..."

"My lord, my lord, the Tartars are coming, and they have captured our men and trampled them to death with horses."

Before the general flag was finished, the sergeant in charge of the sentry in the pier led the two empty horses and shouted angrily.

As for the owners of these two horses, they have died in battle.

"Prepare for battle!"

The general flag shouted at the brothers in the pier to climb the wall with weapons, ready to fight to the death.

After shouting, he hugged his fists and said to the cavalry: "Thank you brother for coming to announce the decree, our sergeants will be loyal to the king, and the matter of guarding the frontier will be handed over to us, you can leave quickly, our palace." ”

There is nothing more convincing than the coming of the Tatars.

The general flag returned to the pier of the fire road to close the pier door and ignited the warning wolf smoke in the pier. 88

The proclamation cavalry's eyes were red, and he took a deep look at this fire road pier.

He followed Wang Zezhi's instructions all the way, as long as he finished reading the holy decree, those generals guarding the fort immediately ordered to organize the retreat of the people, no one has ever been as loyal as this general banner, and no one has questioned whether the holy decree is fake.

First, they did not dare to question the emperor, and second, these people were terrified when they mentioned Tatar, and they were eager to put on their long wings and fly back to Datong Mansion.

The sergeants in this fire mound were different, and either their family members were brutally killed by the Tatars, or their comrades in the army were brutally killed, and they all hated the Tatars to the core.

Because they were on the Great Wall outside, they often engaged the Tatars, so they were quite brave, and they would not flee in embarrassment when they saw the Tatars, but fought bravely to kill the enemy.

In their opinion, kill one back, kill two and earn.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has never been short of brave people.

If it weren't for the eunuchs who caused chaos in the court, and then hundreds of officials formed a party for personal gain, this Ming Dynasty might not be so erosive.

Standing on a high ground, the proclaimed cavalryman looked at the fire pier that had been submerged by the Tatar army, wiped away his tears, and rode away.

The Xuan Decree cavalry rode straight to Datong Mansion.

The various forts on the way are empty at this moment, and they have dragged their families and mouths according to their will, driving cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks to retreat to Datong Mansion City.

Occasionally, the cavalry would shout a warning that the Tatar army had arrived.

When these sentries heard this, they didn't even have the courage to go to find out the information, so they turned their horses around and ran.

The cavalry had been riding behind them for most of the day, and his horse was foaming at the mouth and was about to lose its weight.

Before noon, he finally arrived at Datong Mansion, and originally he wanted to go into the city to change a horse.

Which Cheng wanted the gate of Datong Mansion to be closed, and the city wall was full of soldiers, and there was a sense of slaughter.

He came to a notice outside the city that stated the reason why the city gate was closed in Datong Mansion.

It turned out that the defenders of Datong closed the city gate in order to prevent Tatars from mixing into the city.

Entering the city in detail, opening the gates in the melee, echoing the Tartars entering the city, this kind of thing has happened before, so they have to guard against it.

The people and sergeants who came to the fire piers of the forts were treated differently.

The soldiers were all stationed in the city and defended on the city wall, but the people were arranged to go south to join their relatives, and if there were no relatives, they first went to the Yanmen Pass area to wait for the end of the war.

After reading the notice, the cavalry led the foaming horse and walked towards the Yanmen Pass.

He walked two miles to the south, and one after another he could see the people dragging their families, leading cattle and sheep, and driving chickens and ducks.

The farther south you go, the more people are, and you can hear the cries of children from time to time.

The cavalry looked at these fleeing civilians and their hearts became heavier and heavier.

"Brother, come in and have a cup of tea, and the horses will have to rest."

On the tea stall on the side of the road, a few people who looked like little two shouted at the cavalry.

"Thanks, I don't." The cavalryman looked at them vigilantly, and grabbed the reins in his hand, he thought that these people were running black shops.

The main thing is that in the midst of a group of displaced people fleeing the scourge of war, this tea stall seems too abrupt.

"Don't be nervous, the king of heaven covers the tiger." The little two looked at his cautious appearance, and said a code with a smile.

This is the joint code given to them by Wang Zezhi, these people are not ordinary Xiao Er, they are the sergeants who are here to receive the return of the herald cavalry.

In addition to receiving the return of the cavalry, they are also responsible for spying on intelligence.

"The River Demon of Pagoda Town."

"Anyway, take the brother's identity nameplate and register it."

Xiao Er stretched out his hand and asked him for a nameplate, and the cavalry took out a special wooden nameplate from his arms.

It has information such as his name, gender, age, number, etc.

After Xiao Er took his nameplate and verified it, he beckoned the tea stall to call it a day.

It turned out that the farthest this cavalryman went, he was the last to come back.

"There are a lot of them, let's live, let's go."
