After nearly ten days of travel, the team led by Yuan Chao finally arrived at Baoding Mansion on November 20 in Chongzhen.

Along the way, after a tiring journey, Yuan Chao and they finally came to the destination in their minds.

Along the way, Yuan Chao saw the panicked scene in the north, and saw many people turning their heads and fleeing south, but they did not encounter a team that risked going north.

Only Yuan Chao led the Chen military camp and the people, carrying 10,000 stone of grain, and formed a mighty carriage team of more than 1,000 people to the north.

Along the way, there were also many bandits and bandits who saw such a fat sheep as Yuan Chao and wanted to think crookedly, but they saw that there were more than 1,000 people, and people with discerning eyes could see that there were 400 people in the team with long sticks in their hands, and they had a strong murderous aura, and that kind of murderous aura was only possessed by people who had blood on their hands, so although those bandits and bandits were very greedy for Yuan Chao's food, they still chose the latter when they weighed it with their own lives.

"Wang Ze, this time I came to Baoding Mansion, I plan to place the team in the Zhuangzi on the edge of the city, you go to find a small Zhuangzi nearby, give the villagers some food and money, and let us live for a while." Yuan Dynasty walked on the boundary of Baoding Mansion and planned to set up camp here.

After Wang Ze heard the order, he took two people, mounted his horse and went to investigate first.

After an hour, when Yuan Chao was about to walk to the base of the city wall of Baoding Mansion, he saw Wang Ze rushing back non-stop.

"Owner, less than five miles away from Baoding Mansion in front, there is a small village with only a few dozen households, I negotiated some conditions for them, and they promised to provide us with some vacant houses, houses, and some vacant land, so that we can stay in Zhuangzi." Wang Ze replied with a fist salute.

"Let's go, lead the way." When Yuan Chao heard this, it can be regarded as finding a long-term resting place. Hurriedly let Wang Ze lead the way and rush to Zhuangzi to rest.

After a while, the brigade led by Yuan Chao arrived at this quiet little Zhuangzi on the plain, this small Zhuangzi estimated how many people had not come in his life, Wang Ze had told them before that more than 1,000 people would come, and they now saw this crowd of people, and they also brought 10,000 stone grains that they had never seen in their lives, and they all had their mouths in surprise.

After the Yuan Dynasty and the clan elders in Zhuangzi met, they discussed in detail, and the clan elders of Zhuangzi heard that Yuan Dynasty was a famous showman, and he came from Henan to share the king's worries, and they all set up a thumbs up with admiration.

After the Yuan Dynasty saw the clan elders, he settled his team well, and in the Yuan Dynasty's team, although the military talent was relatively insufficient, Zhou Weihang was a miscellaneous scholar who liked to study everything, and he also had a lot of research on camping.

I saw the team of the Yuan Dynasty, a thousand people divided into a group of 100 people, set up a circle on the periphery, dug a simple trench, and the Chen military camp of the Yuan Dynasty was a team of four hundred, a team in each of the four directions, dug a trench on the periphery, set up some local materials to build a horse, arranged a lookout post around each side, set up a simple tent in the middle, and then went inside is the Yuan Dynasty's Chinese army tent and grain and grass baggage. The few houses in Zhuangzi are inhabited by some patients who are not accustomed to the water and soil.

The formation of the Yuan Dynasty's troops, looking from a distance, except for the formation of more than 1,000 people on the periphery, is still a little loose for laymen, and the level of the Chen military camp in the middle is even more neat than that of some officers and soldiers who have been trained along the way.

The residents of the village saw that the team led by the Yuan Dynasty was very well disciplined, without disturbing the people, and saw that the camp of the Yuan Dynasty team was very powerful, and they immediately felt that this group of people was not simple, and there seemed to be some shadows of Qi Shaobao and Qi Jiajun.

After the Yuan Dynasty settled down, there was a lot less worries, and began to send people and horses to go out to inquire about the news, and Wang Ze sent some merchants and people to all the cities near Baoding Mansion, take root in the city, and inquire about the rise and fall of grain prices.

Yuan Xu sent some Chen military camps, rode horses, and then approached the north to inquire about the news ahead, and reported at least once a day. Only by being well-informed can we survive a hundred battles.

After a few days, the news flew like snowflakes, and on this day, Yuan Chao gathered everyone in the big tent to listen to the latest news. First of all, the merchants reported that the war was going on, and the grain began to rise everywhere, and now by the end of November it had risen to three taels of silver per stone.

Yuan Chao also felt that it was normal when he heard this price. Then he got information from the Chen camp scouts that the Jingshi had been surrounded by Houjin, and a big battle broke out between the two sides on the 20th.

Later Jin first attacked the army of Man Gui and Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, who were stationed near Deshengmen outside the city, but Hou Shilu's troops were routed, and Man Gui was also wounded and retreated. And Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, and Wang Chengyin led their troops outside the Guangqu Gate to meet the attacking Houjin army. Later Jin's Grand Bel Mang Gurtai and Bel Abatai, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo, Haug and others led the white armor army and 2,000 Mongol soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Guangqu Gate.

Yuan Chonghuan had 9,000 cavalry in his hands, and Zu Dashou and Wang Chengyin formed a "product" zigzag formation to meet the battle. The vanguard of the Later Jin army, the Abatai Division, the Azig Division, the Dolgon Division, and the Haoge Division, charged twice, but failed to defeat Zu Dashou and Wang Chengyin, and then the Later Jin again concentrated the two cavalry and broke west into Yuan Chonghuan's army formation. Yuan Chonghuan led the soldiers and resisted bravely. Yuan Chonghuan was shot like a hedgehog by the arrows of the Houjin army, but fortunately he was not shot through because he was wearing heavy armor.

After that, the Houjin army's offensive was thwarted and began to retreat. The Ming army began to pursue until the canal, and the Houjin army suffered serious losses in the battle of Guangqumen, and the Beijing division also stabilized its position slightly.

When Yuan Chao heard these military situations, he also understood that everything was still the same as in history, and the next thing was naturally Huang Taiji's counter-plan, and Emperor Chongzhen self-destroyed the Great Wall. Yuan Chao knew that Yuan Chonghuan could not be saved by himself, but he still wanted to work hard to influence the trajectory of history.

"Wang Ze, I left you a hundred-man Chen military camp, you give me good food, according to my estimate, this war will be fought for a while, so the grain is not in a hurry to sell, wait for another month, the end of December to the next year, you can make a move as appropriate, it is estimated that at that time, a stone of grain will be at least eight or nine taels of silver, but remember, let's wait until the price of grain is too high, we will put a batch of grain to wash down the price of grain, let's keep the price of grain nearby at about seven taels, In this way, some people can be well saved, and the lives of people in this troubled world are like mustard, so let's protect a little bit. After Yuan Chao finished arranging the food, he also closed his eyes and touched the teacup.

"Owner, I remember the business matters. Owner, do you want to take Chen Junying out? In this chaos, it's better to move around less. Wang Ze responded to Yuan Chao's arrangement, and was busy persuading Yuan Chao not to lead the team out.

Yuan Chao didn't answer when he heard this, just nodded, and then shouted directly to the side, "Yuan Xu, Yang Hao, assemble the three hundred-person team of Chen's military camp, Zhou Weihang, you go to Baoding to levy some bold people in Baoding, take a hundred stone of grain, and follow me north to Beijing tomorrow." "Yuan Dynasty still has to wade through this troubled water after all.
