Chapter 16 Combined Troops Entered the Customs

Wang Chengping sat far away on the small horse on the road outside Juyong Pass, staring at the top of the gate with an anxious face, time seemed to freeze, he was going to ask his subordinates after a while, how long had passed, and at the same time, he was afraid that he would suddenly see a bloody human head hanging above the gate.

Half a day passed, but there was still no movement in the pass, so Wang Chengping couldn't sit still, stood up and shouted: "Come on, go to the pass and ask the defenders, where is Lord Lu now!" No matter how they decide, they must not hurt half a single hair of Lord Lu, otherwise...... Otherwise...... Otherwise, Ben will lead his troops into the pass, and he will definitely kill them, and they will not ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly one of the guards pointed in the direction of the closed door and shouted, "The closed door is open!" Look, General, the door is closed! ”

Wang Chengping immediately jumped up and looked hard in the direction of the closed door, and sure enough, the closed door was slowly being opened from the inside at this time, revealing a crack, and then the closed door opened bigger and bigger, and gradually opened it all.

Several officers and soldiers rode horses and immediately rushed out of the pass, rushed directly to the place where Wang Chengping and others were, and when the horse came to Wang Chengping's approach, these people turned over and jumped off the war horse, and strode in front of Wang Chengping, one of the generals of the official army hugged his fist and said to Wang Chengping: "This must be General Wang!" Our General Zhou has an order, open the gate, and let you pass through this pass! You're ready to go! But our general also said that you must line up to pass the customs, do not disturb the people, and our general will lead your troops to accompany you! Let's go to Shanhaiguan! ”

After hearing this, Wang Chengping immediately hugged his fists and said: "Okay! Then please ask this brother to thank you General Zhou on behalf of my Wang! Everything is willing to listen to General Zhou's orders! Our Dazhong army will definitely not offend the people of Guanzhong! Please General Zhou can rest assured! In addition, dare to ask, where is our Lord Lu and Lu Jianjun now? Why don't you see him come with you? ”

The Daming officer who came out to give the order showed a look of admiration, and replied to Wang Chengping with a fist: "Back to the general's words, Lord Lu is all right now, and is talking to our general in the pass, Lord Lu is really not a mortal, after Lord Lu entered the customs, he persuaded our general, he is willing to stay by our general's side as a hostage, and guarantee that you and other Dazhong troops will never take the opportunity to attack the Beijing Division, Lord Lu said, your military discipline is strict, and you will never enter the customs to plunder, and I hope you will not live up to Lord Lu's heart!" Let's get ready to get through! I won't delay you below! Leave! ”

After saying that, these Zhou Yuji's subordinates turned around and turned on their horses and galloped towards the closed door.

Wang Chengping raised his hand and opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, and after seeing them galloping away, he put it down and sighed: "Lord Lu, Lord Lu!" No wonder the Holy One thinks so highly of you! That's it! Quickly inform the general commander of this news, and the army quickly regrouped and prepared to pull out the camp and pass the pass! ”

It didn't take long for Yan Chongxi, who then pressed the large group of people and horses to come to the pass, and received the news, for Lu Xiangsheng to risk his life, and rode alone into the pass to persuade Zhou Yuji to let them open and close, and he was also admired, since the matter had come to this, he only had the overseer to speed up the customs to enter the pass, so the army joined forces and began to pull out the camp, and the whole army of the left route army began to enter the pass in batches, and a team of large and medium soldiers put the troops in order, and the queue entered the pass neatly, and then under the supervision of the officers and soldiers under Zhou Yuji, After passing through the Juyong Pass, and then entering the Gyeonggi Land of the Pass from the other side.

And Lu Xiangsheng put his hands behind his back, standing beside Zhou Yuji, smiling and watching the large and middle army under the wall pass through the city one after another, all the generals of each team of the big army who passed through the city, when they saw Lu Xiangsheng's figure, they were far away in the officer's command, and collectively saluted Lu Xiangsheng, and then under Lu Xiangsheng's nod, he put down his arms after the salute, held his chest high, and threw off his stride forward.

No one said anything, but the kind of respect shown made Zhou Yuji and his subordinates in the Guannei all moved, and now the military appearance of the Xingtian Army, which has been renamed the Great China Defense Army, also made Zhou Yuji and his subordinate officers and soldiers moved, they have fought with the Xingtian Army recently, of course they know the strength of the Xingtian Army, but when they fought before, they were in front of the two armies, and they have never observed each other's military appearance at such close range as today. When looking at the high morale and neat queue shown by the Xingtian Army, even Zhou Yuji, the general of the Ming Dynasty who came up from the bottom step by step by relying on military exploits, couldn't help but sigh, although the officers and troops under his command can also be called elite among the Ming officers and soldiers, but compared with the Xingtian Army, they can only be ashamed of themselves, this is really more damned than people, goods should be thrown, fortunately they did not fight to the death with the Xingtian Army here, otherwise, they estimated that all of them would die here, It may not be able to stop the soldiers and horses of these Heavenly Army.

So many of Zhou Yuji's officers and soldiers secretly rejoiced, fortunately, Lord Lu Xiangsheng persuaded their general, otherwise, they estimated that they would be here at this time.

Especially when they saw the artillery trucks of the Xingtian Army that were passing through the city in endless rows, it made the officers and soldiers shudder, and secretly shouted that this Xingtian Army was too powerful! Roughly counted, this single left army of the Heavenly Army is equipped with more than 100 Hongyi cannons of various types, if they fire together, they will not be enough for these defenders to look at at all, and they will almost die if they fire a volley.

Look at the material convoy of the Xingtian Army, it stretches for several miles, and the cars are all filled with all kinds of grain and ammunition, I really can't figure out where they got so much food, compared with their officers and soldiers, their officers and soldiers have really become called Huazi, at present, their officers and soldiers can only eat two meals a day, and one meal is thin and one is dry, and they can't be full, but on the side of the Xingtian Army, it seems that there are three meals a day, and there are dry meals, and there are pickles to eat!

Look at the armor of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, a team of firecrackers carrying a black and shiny firecracker that has been wiped, a team of sword players each hanging a sharp broadsword, each of them also has a solid shield, or a waist or a back still carries one or two or two or three of that terrible thunderbolt cannon, and most of them have armor on their bodies, not to mention the pikemen, not to mention a long spear, but also a delicately polished small shovel pinned to the quilt behind their backs, which can be used to dig trenches, and can be used as a melee weapon to defend against the enemy, which is really a good thing.

And the cavalry team of the Xingtian Army, all of them rode high-headed horses, and many of them were good horses raised by the Mongolians outside the Guanwai, not to mention, many people still have one person and two horses, and even one person and three horses.

This level of equipment can almost be said to catch up with or surpass the Guanning Army with the best equipment quality in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention their officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp. I heard that the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army can receive a full amount of military pay every month, although they are issued some big dragon banknotes, but this kind of paper money is said to be in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, it is very hard, you can go to the Bank of China at any time, exchange for the clanging dragon silver coins, and there will never be a military general to deduct military salaries, once the generals die on the battlefield, their families can also receive a large amount of pensions, and their families can also receive special preferential treatment, this kind of thing, they officers and soldiers dare not think of, So when they looked at these extremely powerful Xingtian army generals, many officers and soldiers were weak, and now even if Zhou Yuji ordered them to turn against the Xingtian army, they would never easily carry out the order.

In short, Yan Chongxi's Left Route Army passed the Juyong Pass without a single shot and a bullet, and Yan Chongxi also met Zhou Yuji in person when he passed the Juyong Pass, and the two sides once again confirmed their temporary cooperative relationship and the next direction of action of the Great Chinese Army.

But Zhou Yuji also knows that if he does this now, I am afraid that he will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, he can say that it is for the Ming Dynasty, but who will believe this in the future! It is certain that after the emperor in the court hears the news, he will definitely be furious, scolding him for being a rebel and a thief, and he has defected to the Xingtian thief, even if he wants to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the future, I am afraid that the court will no longer believe him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuji sighed, and said to himself in his heart: "Those who are clear are self-purifying!" I, Zhou, asked myself if I didn't betray Daming, although it seems a bit unreasonable to do so, but I, Zhou, still want to guard the border for Daming and resist the army of Jiannu! It's a big deal, one day, Zhou will go to fight Jiannu to the death, and die on the battlefield to show his heart! ”

So after Yan Chongxi led his troops through Juyong Pass, Zhou Yuji also gathered his generals, abandoned Juyong Pass, which had no effect, and followed behind Yan Chongxi's army, "protecting" Lu Xiangsheng, who was acting with them, and headed in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

Sure enough, before Zhou Yuji fought a battle, he magnified the news that the left route army of the Chinese army passed through Juyong Pass and enlarged the news that a large number of Chinese troops entered the land of Jinggi, which soon spread to the Beijing division, and also to the ears of Fu Zonglong, who was sitting in Baoding Mansion.

Zhu Youzhen was even more angry, trembling all over, and scolded loudly, "Rebel thief!" Rebel thief! Is there no one in the world who can be trusted now? In his eyes, Zhou Yuji must have surrendered to the Xingtian thief now, and there is no one in this world who is worthy of his trust.

And after Fu Zonglong heard the news, his hands and feet were cold, Zhou Yu Ji understood, this person can be called a very loyal and brave general, and now even he surrendered to the Heavenly Army without a fight, Da Ming can be said to be completely finished! So he wrote to the court in Baoding Mansion, and his ministers were guilty, misused Zhou Yuji, and asked the court to punish him.

But at this time, where is Chongzhen in the mood to cure Fu Zonglong's sins! If Fu Zonglong is dismissed again, who can he use? So just go as you go! Anyway, he is in the Jingshi, waiting for the moment when the Heavenly Thief or the Jiannu army will come to the city!
