After dawn the next day, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty led by Emperor Zhu Qizhen were discussing the military situation in the tent, and there was a partial general outside who reported in the tent: "Your Majesty, there is a shortage of water in the army, and soldiers have begun to dig wells, but there is no water when digging two zhang, please judge Your Majesty." ”

Wang Zhen's nose was crooked in anger on the side: "Bastard, since you can't dig water by digging a well, why don't you go elsewhere to find a water source?" We remember that when we came, we once crossed a river, not far from here, and you went to let people take turns to fetch water and come back. ”

The general went down for a while, and then entered the tent and said: "There is a river fifteen miles away, but it is occupied by the Warat army, and none of the sergeants who went to fetch water survived. ”

Hearing this, everyone, including Wang Zhen and Zhu Qizhen, looked uncertain, water is a necessary thing for human survival, once the army is cut off, the consequences are unimaginable, but at this moment it has reached a desperate situation, unless the gods and men come to the world, who can break the predicament?

Zhao Yan watched coldly, and saw that Wang Zhen finally showed a panicked look, and couldn't help but snort coldly, but personal feuds can be talked about later, at this time, the 500,000 soldiers are panicked, and if they wait any longer, the situation will inevitably be even more critical.

Zhao Yan stood up from behind Zhang Yi, a newly promoted cabinet scholar, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and the minister has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it." ”

Not many people knew Zhao Yan, but they had all seen him marching with the army in the prisoner car, and at this time, word of mouth spread by word of mouth, and within a moment the ministers present knew Zhao Yan's name and deeds.

Wang Zhen was very happy to see someone come out to offer advice, but when he saw that it was Zhao Yan, he immediately snorted coldly, and was about to dismiss him with a displeased face, but Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and asked, "What is Aiqing's plan?" Come on. ”

Aiqing? Heheda, love your sister.

Zhao Yan sighed twice in his heart and said: "The minister thinks that for today's plan, the only way to get out is to survive by breaking his tail." Your Majesty is the son of the Great Tomorrow, and everyone present is also the minister of my Ming Dynasty, and the army outside is the iron fist of the Ming Dynasty. But at this time, the foreign enemy has entered the army, since it is invincible, it is better to give up some people to protect the majority of the people, and then plan later. Although this plan is not upright, it is also a helpless move, please make a decision on your majesty. ”

"Your Majesty, this is the only way to plan for now, and the old minister seconded it." Kuang Yu, the secretary of the military department, was the first to jump out in favor.

The British Gong Zhang Fu is seventy-five years old, but he is still old and strong, but Wang Zhen is in power, only regards Zhang Fu as a mascot, and does not dare to let him take charge of the army. Please give your majesty 50,000 people, the minister is willing to fight to the death with the Tartars, and he will ensure that his majesty enters the customs safely. ”

"British ......" Zhu Qizhen's eyes were a little moist, Zhang Fu was a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and Hu Hu was a figure in the same period, but his ability and prestige were not comparable to Hu Hui, Zhu Qizhen had always been afraid of Zhang Fu, an old man in the army, but he didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Fu stood up to break off for himself, it can be imagined that Zhang Fu must be holding the mind of fighting to the death, Zhu Qizhen thought of this, and his heart was quite unpleasant.

"No, Your Majesty's personal expedition, the whole world has heard of it, our army is several times the size of the Warat army, and it still has the strength to fight several battles, how can we do such a self-extinguishing thing? Where have you placed Your Majesty? After Wang Zhen finished speaking, he glanced coldly at the ministers near him, and then pointed to Zhao Yan who was in the middle of the tent, and shouted: "Come on, drag this kid who bewitches the crowd out and cut it down." ”

At this point, Zhao Yan couldn't bear it anymore, and without waiting for the sergeant outside the tent to come in and arrest him, Zhao Yan had already taken two steps forward and pounced on Wang Zhen: "You are a dead eunuch, a grass and mud horse, Lao Tzu's good life has been ruined by you, and now you still want to take Lao Tzu to die, go to Nima, Lao Tzu will kill you first." ”

Seeing Zhao Yan's fierce look and fierce face, Wang Zhen suddenly weakened his legs, and collapsed on the ground with a thud, screaming in his mouth: "Help, come quickly, pull this person out, pull him out, pull him out......"

British Gong Zhang Fu was close at hand, and he had a chance to block Zhao Yan for a moment, but he just didn't see it, how to stand and how to stand, and even slightly sideways blocked Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was standing behind him.

The military attaché saw that the British official Zhang Fu did not move, and they immediately took back the steps they had originally stepped out, while the civilian official's side, without the need for cabinet scholars Cao Nai and Zhang Yi to signal, kept their heads slightly bowed from beginning to end, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Zhao Yan threw Wang Zhen to the ground, grabbed Wang Zhen's neck with both hands, and after a while, Wang Zhen's face was already blue, and Emperor Zhu Qizhen had already come back to his senses, and while reaching out to pull Zhao Yan, he shouted: "Come on, don't let the thief hurt Mr." ”

The emperor spoke, and the ministers who pretended to be stupid and stunned came back to their souls, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhao Yan away, and then looked at Wang Zhen, who had already fainted.

An accompanying imperial doctor stepped forward to diagnose and treat him, and then said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the prince is just a little frightened, and the minister can wake up with a massage for him." ”

After a while, Wang Zhen really came to his senses, thinking that he had just turned around in front of the ghost gate, he was suddenly furious, turned his head and said to Zhu Qizhen with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the slaves." ”

Zhu Qizhen was also very angry, his feelings for Wang Zhen were not joking, they were really cultivated overnight.

"Come on, pull this person out and behead him immediately."

Two sergeants entered the tent to get Zhao Yan, but were stopped by the ministers.

British Gong Zhang Fu said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shu is often just in a hurry, and his sin will not lead to death, please be gracious." ”

Cao Nai, the first assistant of the cabinet, also said: "Zhao Shu is often worried about His Majesty's safety, and he is not angry that His Majesty is deceived by the villain, so he made this decision, Your Majesty must not make a mistake again and again." ”

The rest of the Wenchen generals began to beg for mercy for Zhao Yan, and after talking for a long time, Zhu Qizhen's face eased, and then he glanced at Zhao Yan angrily, and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, take care of this person first, and then deal with it after returning to Beijing." ”

After Zhao Yan was escorted down, the topic of Fang Cai continued to be discussed in the tent, but Fang Cai was frightened, Wang Zhen was in a trance but did not listen to it at all, and when everyone finished discussing, Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and asked: "After the British referee tonight, I will gallop into Juyong Pass overnight, what do you think, sir?" ”

Wang Zhen woke up for a while, and saw that everyone except Zhu Qizhen was staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel cold on the top of his head, but for the sake of his own face, he still stubbornly said: "No." ”

Kuang Yu, the secretary of the military department, frowned and asked, "Why not?" Could it be that the prince wants to take His Majesty and 500,000 troops to death? ”

"Exactly, now that there is a strong enemy outside, the army is sleepy and the water source is cut off, and the trapped here will only make the soldiers centrifuge, and the soldiers will have no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit, how can they fight against the army that is recuperating and recuperating in Wara?" British Gong Zhang Fu glanced at Wang Zhen with disgust, he knew that this was the case, and he had to ask the Empress Dowager Zhang to cut off this fang.

"Uh......" Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "We didn't mean that." We mean that the army is sleepy and tired, so why not take advantage of tonight to recharge and wait for tomorrow morning to do this again? ”

Wang Zhen changed his tone, and the ministers were secretly happy in their hearts, and they were afraid that persecuting him too much would cause the opposite effect, so they agreed to Wang Zhen's proposal.

Early the next morning, the British Duke Zhang Fu and the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Yong were dispatching troops, and there was a report from the Malay that the Warat army had retreated, and sent an envoy to sue for peace.

The two of them were overjoyed, and then Zhu Qizhen was promoted to the director, and when he heard this good news, he immediately smiled, and after the messenger of the first came into the account to confirm the matter, Zhu Qizhen ordered Cao Nai to draft an edict, and Wang Zhen had already issued an account and ordered the army to start moving the camp to water.

The soldiers in the army were already thirsty, and when the army was less than two miles away from the river, the soldiers rose up in a hurry and ran to the river, and the whole army was suddenly out of order, and no matter how the officers at all levels whipped and snored, it did not work.

Just as the soldiers were lying on their stomachs by the river and gulping down their water, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from behind.

Zhang Fu climbed high and looked into the distance, and immediately regretted it when he saw it, and shouted: "God will destroy my Ming." ”

The 50,000 Warat army with one person and two horses, began to accelerate not far from the Ming army, although there was no array, but in this situation, one side is chaotic, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the Ming army will have no fighting spirit, and the other side is the Wara cavalry who are recuperating and waiting for work, and they don't need any array at all, and they will directly rush to the Ming army.

Zhao Yan was sitting in the prisoner car and watching the battle of the army outside, when suddenly a knife light lit up, and the lock of the prisoner car was split with a knife.

Yuan Bin pulled Zhao Yan out and said hurriedly: "Zhao Gongzi, hurry up and run for your life, our army is defeated, if you escape late, you may be worried about your life." ”

Zhao Yan grabbed Yuan Bin and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Yuan Bin said: "I am responsible for protecting Your Majesty, so I naturally go to find Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Yan looked around, and there was a scene of two armies fighting and bleeding in all directions, so he said: "At this time, the soldiers are in chaos, and it is even more difficult for you to find Your Majesty, so it is better to rush out with me first, maybe you can see Your Majesty on the road." ”

Yuan Bin just thought about it for a while and agreed, and then at Zhao Yan's suggestion, Yuan Bin hung the prisoner cart on the horse he was riding, and the two squatted in front of the prisoner cart, hiding behind the horse, and then shook the reins, and the healthy horse pulled the prisoner cart straight forward.

"There." Zhao Yan's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw that the British Gong Zhang Fu and Taining Hou Chen Xuan were back to back, surrounded by several personal soldiers, and several of them were wielding swords and fighting with several Warat cavalry.

Yuan Bin handed the reins to Zhao Yan, then held the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and said: "Rush over directly, it's best to drive past those Varat cavalry, I just happened to help the British duke." ”

Zhao Yan held the reins of the horse hard, and controlled the direction of the horse's head very nervously, fortunately, the thoughts of the Warat cavalry were all on Zhang Fu and the others who were surrounded in the middle, and they didn't notice the coming prisoner cart at all, and they didn't realize that it was bad when the prisoner cart approached, but it was too late.
