The crater is like a pockmarked manga outside the Guangning Gate, and the corpses are scattered from under the city wall of the Beijing Division, all the way to the gate of the camp of the Chuang Army, when it is the most arrogant, Wu Sangui even led the cavalry directly to the front of the camp, and a rain of arrows knocked down more than 20 Dashun troops, and Li Zicheng, who even fought in this battle, did not dare to launch the next attack, and this afternoon was spent in the confrontation.

However, if this victory happened under the city of Tongguan, even if it happened under the city of Xi'an, let Yuan Chonghuan's Qin army drag Li Zicheng and control the war in the barren northwest, maybe the fate of the Ming Empire could be changed, and now, it seems to be a little late.

Fortunately, this did not delay the effect of victory on Jingshi.

People always know how to cherish when they lose, when the Dashun army has not yet come to the city, Chongzhen called on the ministers to donate money, and the rich gentry and gentry were stingy and eager to hang their underwear outside to write a sale, in order to show their poverty to escape fundraising, but when the cannon sounded, these guys finally knew that they were afraid!

At the climax of the war, there were some royal relatives and wealthy officials who fled to the east of the city without a war with their belongings and wealth, and asked to go out of the city, and blocked a huge city gate hole tightly.

No matter what princes and nobles, the uncle of this generation of queens is still the eldest sister-in-law of the previous generation of concubines, and he took a leather whip and slapped his head and face according to the crowd, which blocked the crowd of coaxing.

In the afternoon, the two armies ceased fighting, and the wealthy people did not know what was going on, and thought that the city wall had been breached, and one by one they were even more rigid at home, until the evening, when they carefully held a ladder to stuff the house slaves out of the wall, and let them go to inquire about the situation.

Knowing that the official army had won a great victory, they were still a little incredulous, and they sent the house slaves out again, and after repeated confirmation, these high-ranking people in power became ecstatic.

In the evening, the whole Jingshi City is lively as if it is the New Year, everyone takes out the firecrackers, crackles and puts them on, and the singers and dancers invited to sing songs in the house, even if the poor people take out the two copper coins that they have saved so hard, go to the small restaurant at the corner of the street to order fennel beans, come to a bowl of Dongjiang bud rice wine, and celebrate the rest of their lives after the disaster.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The excited tone was a few degrees off, Wang Chengen broke into the ancestral hall with a lot of running, and faced Emperor Chongzhen, who was kneeling in front of the ancestral throne with Empress Zhou and Yuan Guifei, he shouted excitedly and hurriedly: "Victory!" Win! In today's battle of Xizhimen, Ping Xibo won a great victory, retreated ten miles from the enemy, and beheaded more than 80,000!"

The generals below have reported their merits, and they are used to making two discounts, and Emperor Chongzhen is also happy on his face, muttering in disbelief.

"Beheading four thousand? Good sign! Ancestors bless! ”

"Quick, Zitong, thank your ancestors for their protection!"

After being happy for a while, he came back to his senses, and pulled Queen Zhou to kowtow like Senran's ranking group again and kneel to thank him.

…………

The huge Jingshi were immersed in a celebration, and the only one who was worried seemed to be the only one in the mansion of the North Jiguo Kingdom in this town.

The firecrackers outside crackled, and the sound of the piano inside also reverberated movingly.

In front of the same antique copper stove, a girl with a double-ring bun, carrying a pale pink shawl, wearing a wide-sleeved fairy skirt sat in front of a small stool, flickering and shaking the pu fan, the incense spring on the stove was also open, the hot, Teng girl's smooth forehead was revealing a layer of fine sweat beads, for a long time, when the water boiled three times, she struggled to pick up the teapot, poured the green tea soup into the royal tribute kiln before it was burned out, just like the tea bowl of Ning Fat, and picked up Tingting and walked over gracefully.

"Daddy serves tea!"

"Oh yo, come by yourself! How dare you bother Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

hurriedly jumped down from the chair, and Mao Wenlong also greeted him with a smirk like an old eunuch, but it made the girl angry.

"Father-in-law sees the outside world like this, doesn't he recognize the daughter-in-law of the little girl?"

"Where, where? It's too late for the old man to be happy! Yes, yes, sit back!"

Stopping the old man's somewhat unhappy laughter, after all, it was a woman, Chen Jiao, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but have a stiff face with some jealousy, but she was okay, in the shadow of the corridor, a thin and strong man wearing a brocade robe and completely hiding his face in the darkness kept turning around with his hands behind his back, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but he didn't dare to go in to urge.

Just when he was so anxious that he was about to urinate blood, the shrill and piercing cry of the eunuch finally sounded in the courtyard.

"Your Highness! It's not too early! If you don't go back to the palace, it's time to lock it! Your Majesty also has to worry about it, and the old slave respectfully invites His Highness to return to the palace!"

"Hongu knows!"

After a long time, there was a reluctant voice in the house, and then Princess Changping said goodbye with a gentle skirt.

"Little girl, say goodbye to her father-in-law! When he is free in the future, he will come to greet his father-in-law again, and ask his father-in-law to stay!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

In the courtyard, two rows of palace maids slowly walked out of the courtyard with a guard of honor, and Mao Wenlong was still standing at the gate of the courtyard and smirking, seeing that Luan Yi finally went out, Lu Zhong, who felt that the eunuch's voice was so beautiful and pleasant for the first time, walked out with Chen Jiao in a hurry, and suddenly knelt heavily on the ground.

"Humble Lu Zhong, seal the order of the King of Liao, and welcome the old man out of the city! The carriage is ready in the back house, please change your grandfather!"

"Out of town? Why go out of town? ”

The smile gradually converged, Mao Wenlong didn't know if it was pretending or real, and a look of surprise appeared on the rough old face, and he asked without continuing.

Almost vomiting blood in a hurry, Lu Zhong kowtowed helplessly: "Old man!" The 570,000 soldiers of the thieves are coming to the city, and the Beijing division is in danger! You are in Beijing for a moment, and His Royal Highness the King of Liao is frightened for a moment! The special duty is to take you out of this land of right and wrong!"

"Didn't you win this battle of Jingshi?"

I really wonder if the shrewd, ruthless and cruel King Liao is the seed of the foolish old man in front of him! Resisting the urge to vomit blood, Lu Zhong finally ripped his words away.

"Old man! If today's battle is stalemate or the victory of the Guanning army is difficult, this Beijing division will still have more than ten days of struggle, but it will be because of the victory! Jingshi is in danger! Don't you know the nature of the temper of today's great joy? Now everyone is happy and forgets their worries, and the army has not had time to lock the city! The lowly post has bought off the Yongdingmen guerrilla! Please let the old man leave as soon as possible! ”

"You say that Jingshi is in danger?"

"Exactly!"

It's really a patient who is in a hurry to meet a slow man, just in the sweat of the head of this always indifferent brocade guard, this Mao Wenlong suddenly straightened his waist, and stretched the splendid dragon robe on his body straight.

"Master Lu, do you know this robe?"

"Old man! This manglong robe has returned to Liaodong, you want to have several pieces, not to mention this manglong robe, even if it is a real dragon robe, His Royal Highness the King of Liao can get it for you, please change your clothes and go! ”

"This is not a random dragon robe, this is a dragon robe given by His Majesty, and the old man is the Duke of the Great Ming Thistle! The first emperor picked up the old man at the end of his inferiority, and he suffered two generations of imperial favors! Now Jingshi is in trouble! When this crisis exists, how can the old man abandon his job and flee for his life? ”

His expression suddenly became serious, his waist was straight, and Mao Wenlong said righteously, under the moonlight, the old guy's old face full of ravines was extremely majestic at this moment.

The loyalty of the ancients is sometimes difficult for later generations to understand! Just like You let the paint swallow carbon, Hou Ying ashamed of the army to kill himself, the Mao family grew and plump under the wings of the Ming Dynasty, and soared to the present, Wang Yu Liaodong, is already extremely rich, even if Emperor Chongzhen is mean and unkind, but if there is no promotion of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, there is no current Mao family, and now Mao Wenlong has also repaid this loyalty to repay the kindness of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Lu Zhong understands that the old man is planning to die with the city!

can think about it clearly, how Mao Jue's methods are at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when he buried him in Jinyiwei, although he had the intention of listening to intelligence, it was mainly for Mao Wenlong! If he left Old Man Mao here, Lu Zhong could be sure that Mao Jue would definitely kill him!

Even if he is killed, it is light, his wife, concubines and children in Liaodong, and the township party family in the Daimyo Mansion may have to become the object of Dongjiang liquidation, and he was full of cold sweat, and he kowtowed heavily again.

"Old man! Even if you don't want to be yourself, think about King Liao! Once you have a good one, how does the King of Liao deal with himself? ”

"What's there to do with yourself? The general will inevitably die in battle! Lao Tzu is a military general for two generations! Lao Tzu killed his son in the battle and went up again, just avenge Lao Tzu! Master Lu can go back! Bring Lao Tzu's words to that rabbit cub, and he will know what to do! ”

Saying that, with a flick of his sleeves, Mao Wenlong really turned around and went back to the house, and immediately locked the door of the house, stunned, and Lu Zhong had to fall his eyes on Chen Jiao, who was standing on the side.

If Mao Wenlong really doesn't leave, take this eldest lady back, and let her explain to Mao Jue, so that she can reduce her guilt.

It's a pity that Mrs. Chen also shook her head very solemnly, shattering Lu Zhong's wishful thinking.

"The elders don't leave, and the juniors run away alone! Where is filial piety? ”

Fortunately, just when Lu Zhong was full of sorrow, Chen Jiao gave him another hope, looking at the room, she was helpless to lift her skirt and pour a thousand blessings.

"The Jingshi will not fall for a while, and the capital is so big, there will definitely be flaws, even if the thief is not completely sleepy, these days the concubine comes to persuade the father-in-law, and I am tired of Lord Lu to be ready at any time!"

"That's all there is to it!"

With a sad face, Lu Zhong immediately retreated into the shadow of the corridor, and for a moment, as if he had never appeared, disappeared into the night, and glanced at Mao Wenlong, who seemed to be still studying the stove brought by Princess Changping, Chen Jiao couldn't help but sigh again, and she also went back to the house with the corner of her skirt.

…………

That night, Wu Sangui was hung from the earthen basket to the city wall, entered the palace overnight, and his father Wu Xiang accepted the summons of Emperor Chongzhen, this time, Emperor Chongzhen was also rare and generous, and Wu Xiang was also named An Yibo, so that the Wu family had two uncles, great honor, and a box of gold and silver, promising to retire the thief soldiers, and named Wu Sangui as a marquis!

At this time, the title of the Ming Dynasty was still valuable, and this war was going well, Wu Sangui was stimulated and his old face was flushed, and after repeatedly thanking him, he withdrew from the palace and returned to the defensive battle array outside the city.

But just when the whole Jingshi was still immersed in the first victory of the first day, it seemed that they had forgotten the imminent cruelty of the war, and the situation on the battlefield changed drastically again.

Yesterday, in order to celebrate the repulsion of the thieves, Jingying also sent some wine and meat, drank a few more glasses, Jingying Shenshu Camp guerrilla, Yongping Bo Chuji also drank more, the sun was three poles, he shook his heavy head, wearing an earl's robe, tied a jade belt, and staggered up to the city wall with a big belly.

However, just such a glance instantly made him wake up in a fright, just outside the Guangqu Gate where Yuan Chonghuan had fought back then, more than ten miles away, a thick black line was slowly revealed in his eyes, and he suddenly raised the telescope, and he was shocked when he saw a straight word in his eyes, and sat directly on the ground.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Several pro-soldiers hurriedly supported him behind him, trembling for a long time, and Qiu Guerrilla shouted inarticulately.

"The thieves want it, they want to attack the city! ......Hurry up, go and report to the emperor, begging, asking for reinforcements......"

More than a dozen Beijing cavalry hurried fast horses galloped towards the commander of the military headquarters in front of Zhengyang Gate, but before they ran to Suzaku Street, they ran head-on into more than a dozen of their colleagues, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of messenger cavalry crowded into a group, crowded at the gate of the palace, full of begging for help.

Li Zicheng climbed up step by step from the bottom rebellion, and he is the most pragmatic! The exile army has more time for the officials and soldiers to chase and fight, and there is nothing to be ashamed of if they can't beat Wu Sangui, since the defense of Fuchengmen is impregnable, and the army is full of soldiers, he simply came to bloom on all sides.

Liu Zongmin took the cannon around to the east of the city and went to attack Guangqumen! Li Yangchun's troops went straight to the north of the city to attack Deshengmen, which was a real attack! The remaining troops were divided into more than a dozen units, respectively attacking Guang'anmen, Shi'anmen, Yongdingmen, and Zuo'anmen.

"Uncle! Guang'anmen is in a hurry!"

"Report to the general soldiers! Guangqu Gate is in an emergency, and Lord Zhang, the secretary of the military department, urgently orders our department to support!"

"Mr. General! The military order of the military department is to transfer our troops to Xizhimen to deploy defense!"

Zhang Jinyan is also a bastard, he doesn't take any responsibility, he simply sent Wu Sangui directly to Wu Sangui for the urgent documents of the guards, and the military department didn't even have a priority.

The excitement of the emperor's reception and reward last night had not yet passed, and a large number of military orders were piled up on his desk, and for a while, Wu Sangui was the first three points.

"Master General, what should I do?"

A group of generals of the Guanning Army also gathered in the Chinese army, looking at his sweaty boss, Li Benshen asked with difficulty.

Sitting on his handsome chair, looking at those troop transfer documents, his face was gloomy for two or three minutes, and then Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

"Command, pull out the camp, mount the horse!!"

The military order was conveyed that the Guanning army, which was firmly guarded under the Fucheng Gate, had to abandon its position, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry opened the way, and hurriedly drove south around the root of the city wall.

On the other side, Li Zicheng, who had been watching with a telescope, and Guan Ningjun, who had one eye and followed him, couldn't help but show a gloomy smile......
