Mu Tianbo's brows rose, and his anger appeared: The shaft is so bullying, is it really a soft persimmon for my Ming army?

Thinking so, he made up his mind, if Aurangzeb still dares to provoke, he will definitely face the battle, otherwise where is the power of the Ming army?

But who knows, the sound of hurried footsteps, as soon as he stepped into the lobby, the voice of surprise could not wait to sound: "Lord Zhongcheng, the emperor...... The emperor has arrived! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but be stunned, and asked a little puzzled: "The emperor has arrived?" Where are the angels? Yes...... What, the emperor has arrived? ”

In the midst of doubt, his tone suddenly rose up, full of surprise.

"The night is not closed, and we have been contacted!" The guards looked overjoyed and said loudly, "The army led by the emperor is only a day's journey. ”

Just like a dream, the emperor actually beat the Mughal Empire and led the army to Dongwu's side, which is really good! Zhang Huangyan was overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly stood up, raised his legs and walked out.

Mu Tianbo, who was also surprised by his situation, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Zhongcheng, what are you going to do?" ”

"The emperor is coming, go and greet him!" When Zhang Huangyan heard his words, he couldn't help but stop, turned his head to look at him, and replied in surprise.

Mu Tianbo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly reminded: "The emperor is still a day's journey away from here!" ”

"......" Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, then laughed, patted his head and said, "Look at the official who is excited!" ”

Speaking of this, I can see that he is obviously relieved and said: "It's good that the emperor is here, it's good that the emperor is here!" ”

When Mu Tianbo saw it, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and at the same time, he also felt relaxed.

The emperor is here, so can you still have the good fruit of Aurangzeb to eat? Even if he is a cow in the Mughals, who is the emperor, he will definitely let this Aurangzeb know what it means to have a sky outside the sky and a mountain outside the mountain!

"Come, pass on the officer's order!" Zhang Huangyan had already come to his senses, his demeanor was much more relaxed, and he immediately said to his personal guards, "I am happy to pass the news that the emperor's army is going to arrive to the soldiers!" ”

"Yes!" When his guards heard this, they immediately responded excitedly and loudly, and then immediately went out and went to give the order.

"Come, do you want tea? This official has Ceylon black tea here, not to mention, the taste is very good! Zhang Huangyan watched the guards go down, and said to Mu Tianbo with a smile.

When Mu Tianbo heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "I have heard that this Ceylon black tea is very famous, and I must want to taste it today." ”

As soon as he said this, he was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly said to Zhang Huangyan: "By the way, the emperor's army will arrive tomorrow, and we have to prepare!" ”

"It's okay, what are the supplies that the official has been hoarding for these months?" Zhang Huangyan listened, and said with a smile, "It's for the emperor." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly said with a little emotion: "Seriously, this officer's ability to lead troops to fight may not be very good, but if you do a good job of the emperor's logistics supply, this official believes that there is no problem!" ”

Mu Tianbo is a good person, when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Lord Zhongcheng is too modest, in the world, no matter who it is, if the ability to lead troops to fight is compared with the emperor, it will definitely not be good!" ”

This can be regarded as a flattering step, Zhang Huangyan listened to it, and did not say that he did not mean this. He just smiled, and just as he was about to say more, he heard cheers from outside, and the cheers grew louder and louder, until at last it was almost like a tsunami.

"Long live my emperor!"

Hearing this movement, Mu Tianbo and Zhang Huangyan glanced at each other and smiled in unison. The morale of the army is very high, and it is really different.

Or maybe this high morale also affected the two of them. Zhang Huangyan thought for a while, and then said to Mu Tianbo: "Forget it, let's go back and taste tea again, and then go to count the materials, prepare the barracks for the emperor's side, and the horse materials, it is estimated that after fighting for so long, everyone and horses are tired." ”

"Lord Zhongcheng has a point!" Of course, Mu Tianbo will not deny it, and also reminded, "The cavalry led by His Majesty is all one person, two horses or three horses, although there may be losses, but it is better to prepare enough!" ”

"Hehe, the supplies here are only a lot more! Guogong rest assured! Zhang Huangyan listened and said with a smile very confidently.

………………

At noon the next day, there was no night to pass the news back and forth, and Zhang Huangyan, Mu Tianbo and others all led their subordinates to meet them from afar.

Before I could see the figure, I felt the earth tremble faintly. The dust in the distance was like an earth dragon churning.

Seeing this situation, Mu Tianbo couldn't help but ask Zhang Huangyan: "Lord Zhongcheng, how many cavalry did the emperor lead?" ”

"As far as this official knows, it should be more than 20,000 horsemen!" Zhang Huangyan was also a little puzzled, thought for a while and replied.

As he spoke, he could see that the movement in front was a bit big, as if there were more than 20,000 cavalry, could it be that the more the emperor could fight, the more troops there were? Or, after the emperor sent a messenger back to the mainland in Luntai, he changed his mind and brought more people with him?

Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Huangyan didn't have any more thoughts. Even if the emperor finally brought more troops, the troops on the Luntai side were limited after all, and it was impossible to have many more people.

On the other hand, he didn't think about it. Even the Mughal Empire is also a huge empire, and the emperor only brought 20,000 cavalry troops, almost killing from west to east, even if he is invincible, I am afraid that he will lose some. If you don't lose anything, it can't be much, right?

This is a little different from when Jianyu invaded Daming Pass.

At that time, Jianyu fought successively, and the Ming army could only hide in the city. In this way, when the captives entered the customs, they all gathered a large army to enter the customs, and they only plundered in the northern zone.

But now, the Mughal Empire has just opened up its territory, and it is the peak of its national strength, and the emperor only has 20,000 cavalry troops, which is far less than the strength of the Jianyu Empire, but it has almost penetrated the Mughal Empire, which is already very remarkable. Don't mention anything else!

Thinking about this, finally, the people who greeted Zhang Huangyan here finally saw groups of red cavalry appear in their field of vision. On the side of the leader, the flag of the Ming Emperor is fluttering in the wind, needless to say, the emperor is there.

So, Zhang Huangyan immediately led his subordinates to greet him again, and greeted him from afar: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Until Emperor Chongzhen arrived in front of them, the army stopped, and they didn't dare to move their posture.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he said with a smile on his face: "Flat!" ”

When Zhang Huangyan and the others heard it, they stood up according to their words. Although the people behind could not hear it, they could see what was happening in front of them, and they also stood up.

Looking up, after his eyes looked at Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Huangyan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he choked up slightly: "Your Majesty, you have lost weight!" ”

"Hehe, but I'm in good spirits!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "It's good to be thinner, you're fat!" ”

"It's the incompetence of the ministers, they can't worry about the king, and I ask Your Majesty to condemn it!" Zhang Huangyan listened, but he still said ashamedly, and then knelt down to plead again.

Mu Tianbo on the side didn't have this idea originally. But when he heard Zhang Huangyan's words, he could only echo and accuse.

Although they have different ideas, if you want to say that it is Zhang Huangyan's sycophant, it is not necessarily true.

For literati, fat, in fact, there is another saying, that is, wealth, which comes from praise. Ninety-five, a little richer, don't be too normal.

For military generals, thinness is the most common, and if any military general has a big belly, it is definitely very conspicuous and will be criticized.

In addition, Zhang Huang Yancai told Mu Tianbo that he was not good at the ability to lead troops to fight. If you really want to be powerful, you can go directly to the west, and you don't need to ask the court for help before, and you won't alarm the emperor to drive the expedition in person.

Therefore, Zhang Huangyan's words are actually true, and he feels that he has burdened the emperor.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he laughed and said, "If all the Qings are good at fighting, then who will be good at shepherding and guarding one side?" ”

The implication is that everyone has their own strengths, and there is no need to blame themselves!

"Okay, I and the soldiers want to rest, but are you prepared?" Emperor Chongzhen had no one Zhang Huangyan bowed down again, and immediately asked.

When Zhang Huangyan heard this, he couldn't help but be very grateful in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Weichen has already prepared, and he doesn't dare to delay His Majesty's rest!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned his head and said, "Da Lantai, Zhou Yuji, you and others will lead the people of the headquarters into the city with me." Wu Sangui, you settle the new army and camp outside the city, and watch them. ”

If you are facing civil officials, you may be questioned by those civil officials with courtesy, at least Emperor Jiajing was reprimanded by civil officials.

But now, in the military, no one cares too much about these details. Besides, the emperor calling him by his name may not be rude, but may also mean close.

Therefore, Dalantai, Zhou Yuji and others didn't mind at all, and immediately responded.

However, their conversation made Zhang Huangyan anxious. Why camp outside the city, because you are afraid that you are not prepared enough?

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly noticed the details again, who is Dalantai? What kind of army is the New Army?

Thinking so, he looked away from Emperor Chongzhen, and when he finally began to observe others, he realized that the army was not only the Ming army soldiers wearing red mandarin duck battle robes, but also the army dressed as Mongolians.

"Moo......"

Zhang Huangyan was puzzled, when the cavalry dressed as a Mongol was that army, he heard the sound of an elephant. So, when he heard the sound, he suddenly became dumbfounded, when was there a war elephant army in the army led by the emperor? Also, those over there, those in the distance, who are the people, don't their eyes flower? It seems that they are all Mughals!

None of these look like captives, what's going on?
