When Zhang Yong left angrily, only Shen Xi, Yun Liu, and Xi'er were left in the wide command post, and Yun Liu put away the eunuch's style and respectfully gave Shen Xi ten thousand blessings. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Xi stood up from behind the handsome case, came to the two of them, stared at Yun Liu's delicate face, and asked with concern, "What is the situation in the capital?" ”

Yunliu originally wanted Xi'er to come over and salute Shen Xi, but when she heard Shen Xi's direct question, she was a little uncomfortable at first, and then said in a formal tone: "Back to Lord Shen, this is a letter from your godmother, please take a look at it for yourself!" ”

"Oh."

Only then did Shen Xi know that Yu Niang had written a letter to him.

After opening the envelope and taking out the stationery, Shen Xi read it carefully.

The letter was written by Yu Niang herself, and it seemed vague in some titles, calling Shen Xi "Jun", calling herself "concubine", and as for Yunliu and Xi'er, she was a "little girl", just like a widow writing a letter to a man she knew, Shen Xi looked quite awkward.

Yu Niang gave a general explanation of the situation in the capital.

Shen Xi soon knew that Liu Daxia's march on the three sides was going well, winning one victory after another, and successfully recovering the country, and he was about to have a final decisive battle with the "main Tatar force".

The imperial court firmly believed that Liu Daxia could turn the tide for the Ming Dynasty with his rich experience in leading troops after experiencing the previous successive fiascos, but he did not trust Shen Xi very much...... Yu Niang mentioned that even "Duke Xie" was suspicious of the affairs of Xuanfu, so that the imperial court did not have a transfer of troops and horses for a long time.

Jingshi is still under martial law, and Yu Niang specifically mentioned that the Shen family has returned to the capital, and even Shen Xi's parents, Shen Mingjun and his wife, arrived in Beijing safely a few days ago.

After all, Yu Niang is not a high-level person in the middle of the court, and she doesn't know much about the situation, and what she explained in the letter is already everything she knows, and Shen Xi can't learn more from the letter.

But after Shen Xi read the letter, he was extremely emotional, after all, this is the most comprehensive news from the capital he has received since he set out on the expedition, and he was actually concerned about the safety of Xie Yun'er and other family members, and he was worried that because of the martial law in the capital, his family would be hindered from returning to Beijing, especially when Xie Hengnu was pregnant.

At this time, his family was safe, and his heart finally settled down, but he was afraid that the changes in the battle situation would bring unnecessary trouble to him and the Shen family...... The generals who went out on the expedition and their families stayed in the capital, which was tantamount to being taken hostage by the imperial court.

Yun Liu said: "Lord Shen, what are your arrangements, the people must bring the news back to the capital!" ”

In a word, let the six gods of Shen Xi return to their places.

Shen Xi glanced up at Yun Liu, shook his head and said, "Let's stay in the Tumu Fort for the time being, don't think about going back to the capital division, the Tumu Fort is surrounded by Tatars, it's easy to get in and hard to get out!" ”

Yun Liu said in a firm tone: "Lord Shen has any letters that need to be sent back to the capital, and the people's daughter should complete the entrustment even if she is desperate." After speaking, Yun Liu saluted respectfully and made a state of receiving orders at any time, and Xi'er next to her reacted after a while, and then lowered her head, but she didn't say so many emotional words.

Xi'er is a person of temperament, she doesn't know how to be sophisticated, and she can't figure out the psychology of others.

Shen Xi waved his hand and said: "I said no, no, the road back to Juyongguan is very dangerous now, I sent a large number of messengers before, but few can return to Beijing safely, I can't watch you have an accident." I have arranged a place for you in the command post, have a good rest, if there is anything, I will ask the officer after you have rested! ”

Yunliu and Xi'er set out from Huailaiwei yesterday evening and marched rapidly, during which their nerves had been highly tense, and they were exhausted at this time. Shen Xi understood that they were daughters and asked them to rest for the time being.

At this time, Shen Xi himself was a little unable to stand up, after learning that his family was fine, Shen Xi's spirit was better, and what he wanted to do most was to go back to his room and lie down and sleep well.

Yun Liu said: "Lord Shen works hard for state affairs, sleepless nights, and the female sisters are willing to serve Lord Shen." ”

After Shen Xi returned to the handsome case, he propped up the table with both hands, didn't sit down for a long time, just raised his head when he heard the words, and said in a calm tone: "This civil fort is not as good as Jingshi, just take care of yourself, this official has not yet reached the point where you need others to wait!" ”

Yun Liu's face was full of disappointment, she originally thought that she would get Shen Xi's pity if she desperately brought reinforcements into Tumu Fort, but at this moment, it seemed that Shen Xi was still "hard-hearted" and indifferent to the performance of the two sisters. She didn't know that Shen Xi's heart was indeed full of emotion and relief, but she hadn't thought of how to repay the sisters for the time being.

……

……

Just when Shen Xi sent Yunliu to the back wing, and then returned to the bedroom to lie down and rest, the security acropolis, which was only a few dozen miles away from the civil fort, was attacked by Tatar soldiers and horses, and lost before sunrise.

Almost a textbook siege of flat pushing, the main Tatar force of 60,000 people, under the leadership of the national teacher Yismain and another tribal leader, Yibu Ra, divided the army into two routes, and launched a siege from the north and west of the Acropolis.

Although the defenders of the city resisted desperately, the Tartar army drove the surrendered Ming army to attack the city, and soon filled the moat, and then launched a siege with wooden curtains, chariots, ladders, etc., and after repeatedly fighting for the city wall, the Tatars dispatched a rush and crash, and finally broke through the city gate in the early morning.

After that, there was no suspense, and the Tatar soldiers and horses rushed into the city, slaughtering the soldiers and civilians at will, and the battle lasted less than twelve hours before it was basically over, and the corpses were strewn everywhere inside and outside the acropolis.

The national teacher Yisimain had no surprise about taking the Acropolis, but he did not agree with Dayan Khan Batu Munk's decision to let Yibu go east with him, because he was keenly aware that the Dayan tribe intended to drive other tribes to take the lead in this battle against the Ming Dynasty, and deliberately reduced the strength of the rivals.

Yisima originally wanted Batu Munk to send the main force of Chahar to the east and take Juyong Pass in one fell swoop, but Batu Munk did not move, and personally led the main force of the Dayan Department to stay in Xuanfu, and the external propaganda was to be responsible for the rear guard of the whole army and cut off the soldiers and horses of King Qin in Datong Town and Taiyuan Town in the Ming Dynasty, but its essence was to preserve its strength.

As a last resort, Yisima could only personally lead the 30,000 troops of his tribe to the east and drive directly to Juyong Pass.

At present, the security acropolis has been taken, and there are still several cities in front of Juyong Pass that need to be taken, among which Yisima is most concerned about the fact that he has to divide more than 10,000 iron cavalry to garrison, and in the first two encounters, he has lost more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in the civil fort.

The general of the Ming Dynasty who led the troops in the Tumu Fort was Shen Xi, who made the Tatars hate him to the core.

In Yi Si Ma Yin's original plan, he was not prepared to pause too much on the road between Xuanfu and Juyong Pass, even if it was a siege operation, the duration of each battle would never exceed one day and one night, but after Yi Si Ma Yin found out that Shen Xi blocked this road to death, he had to temporarily change his plan and asked Yi Bu to join forces with him and attack the city along the road.
