This fog is not only in Jizhou, but almost the entire Beizhili, including the capital.

On the wall of Andingmen, Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand, looking at the thick fog that was about to drip water, his brows were furrowed, and his heart was uneasy.

Cao Bianjiao was also worried, and said: "I don't know what happened to Jizhou, now the soldiers are not freezing, and they are trembling with weapons, which is very beneficial to the Jianyu people." ”

The Jianyu people are used to severe cold in the north, and this temperature is pediatric for them, but it is different for the Ming people.

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "How is the situation in the city?" ”

Chu Jin said: "There is some instability in the capital, especially in the imperial court, many people seem to be a little impatient, and they are constantly writing books, asking for a strict order to Lord Yuan, ordering him to send troops as soon as possible to drive away Jianyu." ”

Zhou Zheng was silent for a while, took a calm breath, and said: "The fog is very beneficial to Jianyu, we must be cautious, Jianyu will not retreat so easily this time." ”

Cao Bianjiao raised his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhou Zheng always had some bad premonitions, thought about it again and again, turned around and said, "I'll go back home." ”

Cao Bianjiao knew that the government and the opposition were in turmoil now, and Zhou Zheng went to his father to inquire about the news, and without saying much, he continued to inspect the defense of Andingmen.

Zhou Zheng returned to the house, and Zhou Fang ran over with a child in his arms, and asked eagerly, "How is Jizhou?" Will Jianyu come to Jingshi? ”

Zhou Zheng was full of solemnity, and he didn't have the heart to tease the child, so he asked directly: "Dad, when will you come back?" ”

"Dad hasn't been back for a few days, I don't know if he'll be back today. By the way, you know what? I heard that many big families in the city have escaped from Beijing......" Zhou Fang said after Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng was stunned and said, "Isn't the capital already closed the six gates?" ”

Zhou Fang's expression was somewhat angry, and he said, "Snakes have snake paths." ”

Zhou Zheng knew the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and he was already riddled with holes, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he drank tea and waited in the back hall.

It wasn't until the evening that Zhou Qingli came out of the palace, with a tired and dignified face.

When he saw Zhou Zheng, he frowned and said, "You are not in Andingmen, what are you doing when you come back?" ”

Zhou Zheng poured him a cup of tea and said, "There is turmoil in the court now, and I am a little worried. ”

Zhou Qingli nodded imperceptibly, sat down, took a sip of tea, but did not speak.

Zhou Fang held the child and stood all the time, and said: "Dad, what does the imperial court mean, I heard that many people are accusing Lord Yuan of neglecting the fighter plane and want to ask him for blame." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli and frowned slightly, and said, "Dad, what did the emperor say?" ”

Zhou Qingli glanced at her two sons and said, "The emperor is also a little anxious. ”

If it is an ordinary person, it is normal to be a little anxious, after all, more than 100,000 troops are placed at the doorstep, and they may be killed at any time, and everyone will be in a hurry.

The key is, will Chongzhen's urgency do foolish things?

It's not that Yuan Chonghuan is really questioned now, but forcing Yuan Chonghuan to go out of Jizhou and fight with Jianyu, that is a self-defeating move!

Zhou Qingli saw that Zhou Zheng's face was unabated, and said, "We are trying our best to appease the emperor, it should be fine." Lord Yuan is also constantly reading books to gain time. Jianyu's grain and grass can't last long, as long as you hold on, victory is just around the corner. ”

The truth is so, but the Ming court is used to pulling back its legs, and if Chongzhen is moved, it will be a disaster from the sky.

Zhou Zheng was solemn and said, "Dad, you must stop the emperor!" Once Yuan Chonghuan leaves Jizhou or really asks Yuan Chonghuan for his crimes, Jizhou will inevitably collapse, and the capital may fall, which is a catastrophe even more serious than the Tumubao Change! ”

Zhou Qingli didn't know, and said: "You don't need to worry, the court is still the majority of sensible adults, Shen Shangshu has already vouched for the emperor's head, Jizhou is not lost, and the emperor and the court should not mess around." ”

Zhou Zheng was always uneasy, and he couldn't let go of the Anding Gate, thought for a while, stood up and said: "I'll go back first, now it's foggy, Jianyu may take advantage of it, I'll keep an eye on it." ”

Zhou Qingli watched him stand up, and suddenly said, "Are you short of money and food?" ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, and before he could react, Zhou Qingli said again: "Lord Yuan, the grain and grass are estimated to be unable to keep up." ”

Zhou Zheng quickly understood what Zhou Qingli meant, and said, "Can't the household department raise it?" ”

Zhou Qingli shook his head and said: "More than 200,000 troops, even if there is enough grain and grass, distribution is also a problem, I heard that the vicinity of Jizhou has been looted." ”

Zhou Zheng heard what Zhou Qingli meant, and said, "Dad, don't worry, my army has always been disciplined and will not do anything out of the ordinary in the capital." ”

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, who was more resolute than last year, and there were many less immature faces of scholars, and she pondered for a moment and said, "You have to be careful." ”

In the garrison of the capital, a bad one may be impeached, the army is taboo for the royal family, if it arouses the emperor's suspicion, it will be a catastrophe!

Zhou Zheng understood and said, "I know, I'll go back." ”

Zhou Qingli nodded, looking at Zhou Zheng's back, the worry in her heart did not decrease at all.

Now the situation is changeable, and everyone is in danger. The Zhou family has been deeply involved, and it is difficult to extricate themselves, if one is not good, it will cover the nest!

When Zhou Zheng returned to Andingmen, he found Cao Bianjiao and Chu Jin, and said, "Is there any movement?" ”

Chu Jin said: "Xiaguan is already full of scouts within a radius of twenty miles in the capital, and there is no news for the time being. ”

Cao Bianjiao said: "There is no news from Jizhou, the fog is coming, I am afraid that there will be a truce." ”

Zhou Zheng frowned, stared at the map of Jizhou, shook his head and said, "No." Continue to stare at it, Jianyu will definitely come up with other means, and once something happens in Jizhou, we must make enough contingencies. ”

"Yes." Cao Bianjiao and Chu Jin raised their hands with solemn expressions.

Jianyu hit the door of the house, which is far more dangerous for Daming than Warat back then!

This fog came suddenly, lingering for three days, not only did not disperse, but became more and more thick, reaching out and not seeing the five fingers.

On the third day, the scouts arranged by Chu Jin hurriedly came to report: "Report to your lordship, the division of troops is here, there may be more than 10,000 people!" The fog is too big to observe! It is expected to arrive in half an hour! ”

Zhou Zheng's expression changed, and he immediately went to the city wall, and said at the same time: "Report to the general army of Man, and report to the court immediately!" Cao Bianjiao, first-level combat readiness! ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

It didn't take long for the entire capital to be shaken.

Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Bi Ziyan and Zhou Qingli of the Ministry of Household came directly to Andingmen.

Shen Yongmao stood on the Arrow Pavilion, first looked at the north, saw that the fog was cloudy, and he couldn't see anything, turned his head to Zhou Zheng, and said, "Can you hold it?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "If there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, if you can't hold on, there is no problem at all." ”

Shen Yongmao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look north.

Jianyu actually divided his troops, so what is the situation in Jizhou?

Jizhou can't afford to lose!

Bi Ziyan said: "What if more comes? ”
