The 160,000-strong army stopped in Tongzhou, 60 miles east of the capital, and was blocked by 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing battalion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The 10,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion were fully armed, and they lined up the offensive formation on the field to face Li Zhi's 160,000 army, but they did not attack. It's like a wild beast with teeth and claws that doesn't stand still in the way.

The nine general soldiers led by Li Zhi rode horses and stood at the forefront of the army, observing the soldiers and horses with binoculars, frowning and silent.

Yang Guozhu looked at it for a while, stroked his beard and said: "Yang someone recognizes this soldier and horse, this is the person who is the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, Huang Degong." ”

It turned out to be Huang Degong's soldiers and horses, no wonder they looked quite elite. Li Zhi remembered his dealings with Huang Degong when he killed Zhang Xianzhong in the Anqing War. At that time, Huang Degong was still a deputy general, and he was just a guerrilla, and after the battle, Huang Degong insisted on begging him for a flintlock pistol, saying that he would go back to imitate it.

How could this Huang Degong lead troops out to stop his army?

Zu Dashou looked at Huang Degong's soldiers and horses, and said in a deep voice: "Sending 10,000 lonely troops to stop my 160,000 army is not like the handiwork of the Son of Heaven." ”

Cao Bianjiao groaned and said, "This must not be an order from the Son of Heaven. Our army of 160,000 people is armed to ask for help, not a rebellion, how could the Son of Heaven send a mere 10,000 people to block the road? If these 10,000 people force our army to attack the Beijing camp, wouldn't it escalate the situation? The Son of Heaven must not want to see such an ending. ”

Wang Pu snorted and scolded: "This must be a private transfer of troops and horses by civilian officials, trying to scare us in the name of rebellion and let us retreat!" ”

Zu Dashou sneered and said, "Privately transferring the Beijing camp is not a misdemeanor. This must be the high-ranking official dog involved in the case of the Tibetan silver in the Taifu Temple this time, jumping off the wall in a hurry, and taking the risk to transfer troops and horses to deter us. ”

Wang Puyi waved his hand and said, "Let's play the Son of Heaven and let the Son of Heaven take back this lonely army." ”

When the generals heard Wang Pu's words, they did not speak.

Cao Bianjiao shook his head.

Wu Sangui's face was a little pale, and he stroked the horse's mane and was silent.

In the end, the warlord Zu Dashou, who was still entrenched in Jinzhou, said: "The Son of Heaven will not easily mobilize the Beijing camp to block my army, but at this time, Huang Degong is already here, and the matter of sending troops to the Beijing camp has been completed. If we cower in front of the Beijing camp, the matter of the military advice will become a joke, and the Son of Heaven will be optimistic about its success, delay the delay, and continue to let Huang Degong's soldiers and horses hold back our army..."

"When we persecuted the Son of Heaven with a great army, but were stopped by 10,000 men, how could the Son of Heaven clear the way for us?"

"Our army only has half a month's worth of food and grass, and if it is dragged for ten days, the army and horses will be crushed."

Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out what the Tao was about. The thoughts of this civilian officer are really vicious.

Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, shouted angrily: "If you don't do it, you won't stop it, since you have arrived here, you will defeat this Beijing camp and kill the soldiers at the foot of the capital!" ”

Wu Sangui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and shouted at Ma Ke: "Ma Ke, you are a rebellion!" ”

Ma Ke rolled his eyes and said loudly: "With 160,000 troops in hand, as long as we don't attack the city, who dares to say that we are rebelling?" ”

Wu Sangui shouted: "Leading troops to attack the Beijing camp is a serious crime, and the imperial court will definitely not spare it!" We said that we would lead the army to ask for our lives, but if we made a war with the Beijing camp, we would deviate from our original intentions, which was very different from what we said when we joined the gang! ”

Ma Keha laughed and said, "Wu Sangui, do you want to slip away?" Those Beijing officials almost killed you, and you will be a turtle with a shrunken head? ”

Wu Sangui was so choked by Ma Ke that he couldn't speak, and subconsciously looked at Li Zhi.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and they all looked at Li Zhi.

The warlord of Liaoxi, Zu Dashou, arched his hand and said: "Jin Guogong, you are the leader of our martial arts, at this time, whether to fight or go, Jin Guogong to make a decision!" ”

Li Zhizheng closed his eyes to recuperate, and only opened his eyes when he heard Zu Dashou's words. Looking at the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp in front of him, Li Zhi was silent for a while.

Everyone looked at Li Zhi directly, and waited for a while, only to hear Li Zhi say word by word: "Chen Jishan of Taifu Temple hid food and salary, and Li Zhiwen of the household department deceived the Son of Heaven, and now there is Wu Fu, the second assistant of the cabinet, who privately transferred the Beijing camp to try to force the army to rebel, these three people can be punished, and I will kill them for the people of the world!" ”

Hearing Li Zhi's murderous words, all the generals had a pang on their faces.

This Li Zhi doesn't seem to have paid attention to anything. As long as he is a sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people, it seems that no matter how powerful he is, he can't stop Li Zhi from killing people. What is the governor of Shangshu and what is the deputy assistant of the cabinet, in Li Zhi's eyes, it seems to be like a paper paste.

However, Li Zhi has a strong army, and 20,000 soldiers are afraid that he has the combat strength of 100,000 Ming troops, and he does have such strength. Everyone secretly said that such a killing god was really terrifying, and it was easy not to be offended.

Wang Pu swallowed his saliva and asked, "Duke Jinguo, what should I do if this Huang Degong's soldiers and horses are blocking the way?" ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "Huang Degong's mantis arm is used as a car, and our army will defeat it." ”

Wu Sangui's face turned white, and he arched his hand and said, "Duke Jinguo, I came to ask for my life." This crime of attacking the Beijing camp is not small! ”

Li Zhi asked lightly, "What kind of crime is this?" ”

Wu Sangui's face turned even paler, and he reluctantly said: "My army led a large army to Beijing to attack the Beijing camp, I'm afraid this is already a rebellion!" When the time comes, hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China will be impeached, I'm afraid I won't be able to please us! ”

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Sangui coldly and said: "The traitorous ministers of the DPRK and China are worshipping, and 170,000 soldiers were almost murdered and the whole army was wiped out. We waited for the Xingshi to ask for orders, only killed traitorous ministers and did not ask about the government, and there was no refutation of the uprightness. This Wu Fu dares to privately transfer troops and horses to stop the army, and he deserves death, how can we stop in front of such tricks? ”

"As for the crime of attacking Jingying, rest assured, this father will bear it with all his might. As long as Li Zhi is in Tianjin for a day, you will not be implicated in this. ”

When Li Zhi said this, he wanted to pick this head and take the responsibility of attacking the Beijing camp alone.

Li Zhi has a heavy army in Tianjin, even if he defeats 10,000 Beijing battalions, as long as he comes out, what can the Son of Heaven do with Li Zhi? The generals glanced at each other, and suddenly they were eager to try again. Even Wu Sangui, who was hesitant, had nothing to say, and he rode on the horse and stopped speaking.

"The tricks of a few traitorous ministers are like fools' tricks in front of the tiger master of this duke!"

Li Zhi waved his hand and asked the generals of the Tiger Division, "Who stepped forward to defeat this Wanjing camp for me?" ”

Xue Sanku, the acting head of the Xuanfeng Regiment, rushed out of the queue with his fists in front of everyone, and said loudly: "I bombarded these dirt buns for the division commander!" Let them see what firepower is! ”

Cao Bianjiao rode a few steps to Li Zhi's side, and said loudly: "Jin Guogong, such a big thing, how can you not let Cao Bianjiao show his hand?" ”

Zu Dashou laughed and said, "Zu has 8,000 cavalry under his command, and he can't watch from the wall!" ”
