In November of the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to King Qin. The world's soldiers and horses began to advance towards the heart of the Ming Empire. In this vast historical torrent, there is such a unique team that also began to move in the direction of Jingshi. 、

That is, after sufficient mobilization, the Yuan Dynasty led a thousand people recruited in Zhuangnei and nearby, drove a carriage, carried 10,000 stone of grain, and took 400 Chen military camp members, and began to march to Beijing in the name of sharing the worries of the local wealthy families.

This time, Yuan Chao and his Chen Zhuang can be regarded as pouring out of the nest, and their generals brought Yuan Xu and Yang Hao. Wenchen took Zhou Weihang and Wang Ze with him, and only Yuan Bao was left at home to take care of the family in Chenzhuang.

Yuan An, the father of the Yuan Dynasty, heard that his son was going to bring food and Zhuang Min to Beijing to share the worries of the monarch's father, his mood was very complicated, Yuan An had read all the books of benevolence and righteousness in his life, and naturally knew what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness were, and what was the family and the country, but Yuan An also knew that this time he went to the north, not to go to the mountains and rivers, but to pin his head to the waistband of his pants.

Yuan An also sent someone to Chenzhuang to find Yuan Dynasty for the first time to block and persuade him, but the reply he got was that Yuan Chao was going to resolutely go north, and Yuan An had no other way but to take a letter of resignation, and introduced to Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy Department that his son Yuan Chao was a cloth cloth, and he went north to share the worries of his father from his scattered family wealth, etc., hoping that all localities could try their best to help, but Yuan An himself also knew that now this letter is estimated to be a stone sinking into the sea, and the effect will not be great.

"Owner, after these two days of marching, we have only traveled more than 100 miles, and there is too much grain and grass, which has dragged down our journey." Wang Ze, who was behind Yuan Chao, reported to Yuan Chao the mileage of the march in the past few days.

"It took two days to walk more than 100 miles, and at this speed, I rushed to Jingshi, and it is estimated that it will be the end of November no matter how soon it is, and Jingshi should be surrounded by a tight siege at that time." Yuan Chao pondered in his heart, and did not choose to take Wang Ze's words.

Wang Ze saw that his opinion did not cause Yuan Chao to talk, and it was not easy to ask again.

Zhou Weihang beside him was also pondering the unbelievable behavior of the owner, as a cloth cloth, but with the villagers pushing the grain and bringing their own village soldiers, to go north to the king of Qin, this looks really respectable, but it is full of too much unreality, here Wang Zeyu told the march to be slow, and the owner did not show the meaning of being in a hurry, could it be that the owner of the village went north to Shenjing this time, just to win the false name of a cloth king Qin? This is obviously impossible, so what is the owner for? Zhou Weihang, who has always prided himself on being smart, couldn't understand what the owner wanted to do at this time, so he could only guess Yuan Chao's mind and continue to move forward.

Along the way, Yuan Chao led the team all the way to the north.

Along the way, news from the north also kept coming.

Pingliao general Zhao led the sect in Zunhua and Santun camp ambush, and Houjin fought fiercely in the field, Zhao general soldiers were martyred, and the 4,000 cavalry under his command were annihilated.

Later Jin conquered Zunhua, governor Wang Yuanya, push official Li Xianming, push official He Tianqiu, Zunhua Zhixian Xu Ze and the former Zhixian Wu Qiqian refused to defend the city, and the city was broken and died. Shi Xianming was stationed in the city to inspect the official treasury. Or it is said that this town is not under the jurisdiction of the king, and it is not guilty. Xianming Zhengse said: "If it is not the king's land, I dare to take refuge in danger." "Please guard the east gate, the city will be broken.

At the same time, Houjin broke through the Santun camp in an hour. Straight to the heart of the Ming Empire.

When the bad news came from the north, everyone except Yuan Chao was very shocked, they originally thought that Houjin was quite capable of fighting, but they didn't expect that they would be able to enter the realm of no one in the pass.

Zhou Weihang really couldn't help the strong question in his heart, and finally asked the owner of the village when he was riding a horse and leading the team in front with Yuan Chao alone.

"Owner, I think that after this war, Jin Po has some intention to conquer Shenjing, even if Shenjing is heavily defended, but we go to compete with Houjin is too far apart, the owner will not do anything stupid, and the owner of the village is bent on rushing to Shenjing, and it will not be just to win a false name of King Qin, but also ask the owner to tell the purpose of this trip, in order to solve the confusion." Zhou Weihang put down the figure of a wise man and asked the enigmatic owner for advice.

"Wei Hang, now we have set off for more than ten days, and now we have marched more than seven hundred miles, and now our men and horses have also come to Zhangde Mansion. Let me tell you the truth, I can also see that this time Houjin is indeed rushing towards Shenjing, this time there will inevitably be a big war and a turmoil in the north, according to my estimate, this war will not end for a while and a half. Yuan Chao first told Zhou Weihang that this war would be a big war, a long-term war.

Before Yuan Chao could continue, Zhou Weihang began to have an epiphany and expressed his views out loud. "Wei Hang dared to guess the owner's plan. The owner saw that this war was a protracted war, which would definitely affect the price of grain in the north, so with this 10,000 stone grain Qinwang, he could not only win a false name, but also make a lot of money on grain? Zhou Weihang suddenly realized, it turned out that his owner Qinwang was fake, and it was true that he came to do business.

"Wei Hang, what you said is right and what you said is not right. I, Yuan Chao, took the financial and material resources that my Zhuangzi spent half a year to collect the grain, which was originally to wait for the grain price to rise and sell, but this time in the Northland War, the price of grain will definitely soar, and it is indeed my pursuit to make a sum of money. However, if I just want to make some money, I can naturally wait for the merchants of the Northland to collect the grain, and I don't need to take the risk of taking the time and effort to carry the grain north in order to make a little more. I went north with food this time, and it was certain to make money, and at the same time, I also wanted to use the food in my hands to help some people, some soldiers, and some generals. Yuan Chao looked to the north with his eyes, as if he was looking at the scene of war in the north.

"Where does the owner plan to stop to carry out the implementation of this plan?" Zhou Weihang fully understood the owner's plan, and he was embarrassed to underestimate the owner just now. Such a strategic owner. This time, we must choose a place not far from the war and do a good job in the distribution of food.

"Baoding Mansion. Yuan Chao blurted out a destination. Then he rode forward.

"Baoding Mansion, located in Shenjing three hundred miles south of Shenjing, has been as the south gate of Shenjing, only about five days away from Shenjing, presumably this war will not be threatened by war for a while and a half, and at the same time in Baoding Mansion can also be as close to the dangerous northern battlefield as possible, it is indeed a good place with an excellent strategic location. The owner must have chosen such a good strategic place after careful consideration. Thinking of this, Zhou Weihang didn't have any doubts in his heart, and he also beat the horsewhip, struggled forward, and followed Yuan Chao's figure.
