With Li Zicheng's decision, Gu Junen quickly wrote several documents on the side desk, stamped the seal, and soon rode out of the city from Chaoyang Gate and Yongding Gate, heading east to south.

After another half an hour, a cavalry team of 3,000 rushed out of Chaoyangmen under the leadership of the general Zhang Nai, and marched along the official road in the direction of Tongzhou.

Zhang Nai is Li Zicheng's adopted son, who grew up in the children's camp, although he is only twenty-two or three years old, he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, brave and good at fighting, and has always commanded Li Zicheng's personal guard cavalry.

However, Chongzhen is too important, and the Xishan army has been gone for a day, and other armies may not be able to catch up, so Li Zicheng has no choice but to send out the pure cavalry in his hand.

Under the command of Li Zicheng, although there were five battalions of 100,000 main troops, there were more than 10,000 cavalry, and the 3,000 elite cavalry led by Zhang Nai was the strongest among them, and most of them were the elite of the Qin army who surrendered.

Three thousand iron horsemen rushed out of the city of Beijing, galloping quickly to the east, Zhang Nai took the lead in the front, but before he could go far, he met a messenger sent by Tongzhou to report the news, and learned that Chen Yue had defeated Tang Tong's army and had fled to Tianjin.

Zhang Nai sent his subordinates back to Beijing to report the news, and he led his troops to continue the pursuit.

Li Zichengzheng was discussing other matters with Liu Zongmin, Gu Junen and others, and couldn't help but be shocked when they learned the news that Tang Tongjun was defeated by Chen Yue.

"This Tang Tong is really a rice bucket, eight thousand people, he was easily defeated by two thousand people, what is the use of keeping such a rice bucket for him?" Before Li Zicheng could speak, Liu Zongmin snorted angrily, he had always looked down on the surrender of the Ming Dynasty.

"If Tang Tong is defeated, he will be defeated, but Your Majesty, the selection of the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan has to be re-chosen." Gu Junen said.

Tang Tong was sent to Shanhaiguan to replace Wu Sangui, but now he was defeated by Chen Yue and was unable to make the trip.

"Big brother, don't send these wastes to the army anymore, send some old brothers." Liu Zongmin suggested.

"Alas, I didn't know that these troops were useless, but our old battalion in Beijing was only 70,000 people, and we couldn't draw manpower." Li Zicheng sighed. The rise of Dashun is too fast, two or three years from eighteen cavalry to hundreds of thousands of troops, the composition of the army is complex, the soldiers are mostly composed of Henan people and the surrendered Ming army, among which the real combat effectiveness is the reorganization of the five battalion veterans, the five battalions followed by Li Zicheng's side are only three battalions, of which the right battalion is still in Baoding under the leadership of Liu Fangliang.

With a mere 70,000 troops to control the city of Beijing, it was already stretched, and where could the extra troops be drawn.

"Let Bai Guangen replace Tang Tong as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan!" Li Zicheng pondered for a while, "Order Li Guo to take his headquarters and 20,000 troops to set off immediately to attack Tianjin Wei." ”

Chen Yue was able to easily defeat Tang Tong's army of 8,000, which showed that the combat effectiveness of his army was extraordinary, and Li Zicheng was worried that Zhang Nai might not be able to defeat Chen Yue and break through Tianjin, after all, Zhang Nai's men were all cavalry and were not good at attacking cities.

......

Besides, Chen Yue, after defeating Tang Tong's army, did not dare to stay at all, and led the army south along the canal. Yu Feng took two hundred cavalry as the vanguard, Jin Xin took the right battalion infantry as the rearguard, Chen Yue himself took the guard battalion to protect Chongzhen's father and daughter as the middle army, and the two thousand troops marched along the official road next to the canal, pulling out a queue of more than three miles before and after.

Liu Neng rode on a horse, and as the team marched, he turned his head from time to time to look at the carriages in the team, and he knew that in the middle carriage was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

That's the Emperor! Thinking about it, Liu Neng felt incredible, before leaving Xishan Town, the biggest official he had ever seen was the inspection of the Inspection Division, and he had never even seen the Fangshan County Order. I didn't expect to see the emperor today! This makes this original Xishan Town ruffian how can he not be excited. It must be said that Chen Yue's secrecy work was extremely good, and until the moment before the army arrived in Tongzhou and attacked Tang Tong's army, most of the soldiers did not know that the emperor was in their own army.

This time, everyone saved the emperor, and the adults will definitely be made a big official, and they will definitely be able to rise to the top, and they may be able to be a deputy general in the future, which is really glorifying the ancestors! Liu Neng thought beautifully in his heart.

Unlike Liu Neng, Wei Yang didn't have any thoughts of glorifying his ancestors in his heart, because he couldn't remember who his ancestors were, and now he only knew that he had to protect the emperor in the carriage next to him, even if he risked his own life, because it was ordered by the adult.

Wei Yang was originally a homeless child, abducted and sold by human traffickers, and then rescued by Chen Yue to get to where he is today, so in Wei Yang's heart, Chen Yue is his own master, his own sky, and he only has Chen Yue's orders in his heart.

On the other side of the carriage, Wu Mengming was riding on a war horse, and the encounters of these days were like a dream. From the day the thieves entered the city, he hid like a mouse, watching his home being broken into by the thieves, but he couldn't do anything, and he didn't know what happened to his family now? Thinking about his wife and children at home, Wu Mengming felt extremely heavy. I may never have the opportunity to return to Beijing in my life, and I may never see my wife and children again!

"Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu!" A crisp voice called softly, and Wu Mengming raised his head with a smile on his face.

"Princess, what are your orders?" Wu Mengming patted the horse and Princess Kunxing's carriage in parallel, looked at Princess Kunxing in the window of the carriage, and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Wu, can you call Chen Yue, I have something to say to him." Princess Kunxing's face showed a little shyness, her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look at Wu Mengming's face.

"Chen, let's call Lord Chen." Wu Mengming smiled and rode forward.

Princess Kunxing sighed softly, lowered the curtains, and when she turned her head, she saw a strange smile on Zhang Xiu'er's face.

"I, I just have something to ask him." Kun Xing explained weakly.

"Hehehe." Zhang Xiu'er laughed, and Princess Kunxing's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Lord Wu." Seeing Wu Mengming coming on horseback, Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, "But Your Majesty has something to look for me?" ”

"Your Majesty is fine, it's Princess Kunxing who wants to see you." Wu Mengming smiled.

"Huh!" Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, and after thanking Wu Mengming, he rode his horse and ran towards Princess Kunxing's carriage. These days, he only cares about escaping, but he has snubbed Kun Xing, and Chen Yue also wants to see her at this moment.

Watching Chen Yue ride to Kunxing's carriage and talk to Kunxing through the window, Wu Mengming showed a complicated look on his face, thought for a while, and rode to Chongzhen's carriage.

"Wu Qing came up to talk to me for a while." Chongzhen said to Wu Mengming through the window.

Wu Mengming agreed, got off the horse, and climbed into Chongzhen's carriage.
