"Zhou Yuji is dead?"

A peregrine falcon fluttered down, looking at the message on the note, Mao Jue couldn't help but read silently, and then shook his head heavily.

Although even if he didn't secretly deliver supplies, Zhou Yuji would still fight to the death, but after all, this time he secretly shot and made him, an iron-clad loyal minister, a white bone under his throne, Mao Jue still felt very uncomfortable.

However, it's just uncomfortable, and Zhou Yuji died on the battlefield like this, so he fulfilled his reputation as a martyr, if he was allowed to live, when he got into the big position, maybe he would have to find a way to get rid of him like Cao Cao killed Xun Yu, and then he would have to be stigmatized no matter what, for the great cause of the Dongjiang River, he must die!

"Send a message to Song Xiance, if you have a chance, go to Ningwu Pass, restrain Zhou Yuji, if you don't have a chance, then forget it!"

"Got it!"

With Adriana's soft answer, the group of information was immediately turned into a paper ball by Mao Jue and thrown into the brazier.

The way of heroism, which one didn't climb up by stepping on other people's accumulated bones?

…………

Ningwu Pass was broken, Datong was the first to surrender, and then Wang Chengyin, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, was also trembling on the surrender table, Li Zicheng's army followed the blood of the Ming Dynasty all the way like a poison, rushing straight to the heart of the empire, along the way, but there was no longer a checkpoint that could stop his footsteps.

However, unlike in history, this time Jiang Zhi took the initiative to lead troops to attack Zhou Yuji's back, taking the opportunity, Li Zicheng simply incorporated him and Wang Chengyin's Xuanfu soldiers into the army to supplement the losses, and did not leave these two important military forces in the north in place.

This peregrine falcon of Mao Jue in Ningyuan City had just set off, but on the Tumo River outside Datong City, more than a dozen peregrine falcons flew over from the gate whistling and circling.

"Lord Song! Datong came to report that Li Chuang had passed the army, and the thief was stationed in the Tianxing Zhang Tianlin Department, with 3,000 soldiers and horses!"

"Lord Song, Niangzi Guan has come to report, the tail of Li Chuang's army has passed, and Xiong Xiangchun, the head of the thief, is stationed in the army, with a thousand troops!"

"Report! The Xuanfu came to report that Li Chuang's army had left the Xuanfu and was approaching Juyong Pass! Two thousand of the thieves and tigers are stationed there!"

"Report ......"

With the report of the herald of life, the black banner hanging on the map on behalf of the army was also kicked off one by one, and only replaced with a toothpick, when the Juyong Pass was broken by Li Chuang, the eunuch Du Xun of the supervising army, and the guerrilla general Xie Sufu surrendered, the fake Taoist Song Datou, who had just fooled the general army of Datong, was obviously relieved, and immediately hooked the corner of his mouth, and slapped his face briskly.

"It's almost time to go, General Wen, it's time for us to harvest corn!"

"General Wen, there is a battle, why do you still look listless?"

He, a civil official and foreign minister, was busy like his grandson, but Wen Meng, who was in charge of the first army on the other hand, was like Daiyu, holding a ...... cheek in one hand, and his forehead was full of pockmarks, looking at the outside of the tent in a daze, Song Xiance shouted twice, and then he came back to his senses, looking at his round head, Wen Meng couldn't help but complain.

"Lord Song, did you say that our old Wen offended the King of Liao? The last battle in the world outside the gates, we played a supporting role! It's a fucking battle in the world this time, let's still play a supporting role! It is said that grandma is not close to uncle and uncle is not loved! Why did our old horse become a nephew who didn't love him? ”

Indeed, the last time the front line was entangled with the main force of the Huang Taiji Qing Army, the Tieshan Corps of the First Army was sent by Mao Jue to harvest corn in the Dongjiang River first, and after harvesting the corn, he took over the empty Kaiyuan Tieling City, and it was not interesting to fight at all, this time it was even more speechless, when the armies were sharpening their knives in Ningyuan Mountain Pass, he was sent to the grassland to eat the wind again.

I thought that this thing was hurting lovesickness, and I couldn't bear to see which Mongolian girl, listening to the gloomy grievances and complaints of this bad thing, Song Xiance was speechless and slapped his thigh.

"Master Wen! Do you still have grandma and nephew? The King of Liao is enough for you, ten military towns, there are veterans of Liaodong like Kong Youde Liu Xingzuo, and there are former court officials like Sun Chuanting Hong Chengchou, he will send you to take charge alone, other armies are still squatting outside the pass, Shanxi and Hebei thousands of miles let you crisscross and horizontally, do you want to do it, write a letter back, some people are willing to do it, let's Lao Song help you on a fold? ”

What is called a slut is hypocrisy! Seeing that Song Xiance was really pumping paper, Wen Meng panicked again, and even ran and snatched the black cover letter book he had in hand, and an old face smiled like an old chrysanthemum, humming with a smiling face.

"This is not an old article is just two sentences of complaining, do you still have to focus on the great cause of the King of Liao? Let's go! Let's go!"

"Come on, prepare the horses, blow the trumpet! Bunnies! Don't grow hair on your ass, move with Lao Tzu!"

Why, this thing has already trotted out of the door, and Song Xiance couldn't help but shake his head in amusement, but in just a moment, his emotions also became excited, and he returned his gaze to the sand table on the table.

"What a circle!"

The terrible horn sounded, and in the naturalization city of Tumut Mongolia and the supreme ruling place, tens of thousands of Liao soldiers turned over on their horses, and 50,000 people pulled cannons to beat their horses forward, and in the shouts of a horse-faced man, they quickly gathered into a huge black arrow, and they went straight to the pass unstoppably.

A new round of the city's changing king banner will be staged in this place outside the pass.

…………

On the other side, in the pass, far more vast than Wen Meng's partial division, the rolling torrent is also hurrying towards the east, the last Juyong pass is broken, there is nothing in front of him that can hinder Li Zicheng's march to the checkpoint stronghold, riding on a war horse, the red cloak behind him was blown up by the strong wind, and one of his one-eyed eyes was fierce and proud to watch the army under his command pass through the narrow pass of Juyong Pass, and then entered the great plain near Yanjing.

On March 27, the army arrived in Changping.

However, history is so bad, lost thousands of miles, compared with the former Ningwu Pass, this time Zhou Yuji led his subordinates to resist for eleven more days, these eleven days, but also let the fate of the Ming Dynasty change slightly, was regarded as a life-saving straw Guan Ning Army, arrived!

Dense banners from the inner city of Fucheng Gate to the Guangning Gate, the Guanning army did not defend according to the city, but directly outside the city, the Ming army's defensive positions are like brackets, the infantry dug out a trench, the cannon stands in it, on both sides is full armor, the Liaodong iron cavalry, Wu Sangui's main force is stationed here, his army is divided into five parts, facing Li Zicheng's main force.

Tang Tong's Jizhen soldiers and horses of more than 8,000 people were stationed at Guangning Gate, which was relatively biased outside the battlefield, and as for the 300,000 Beijing battalions on paper, they were distributed on various city walls, stationed the remaining nine gates, and it was a bit unrealistic to expect them to go down to fight with the Chuang army.

This was the first time Li Zicheng had arrived outside the city of Beijing, and the rear army was stationed in Changping, and he couldn't help but personally lead the vanguard army to the city of Beijing.

In this era, there is really no city that is bigger than the Beijing Division, but also spectacular, the majestic Guan Ning army of Wu Sangui under the city was directly ignored by him, showing in his single eye, is a spectacular sea of cities, dense cities under the town stretch endlessly, although slightly dilapidated but the neat and mighty city wall from north to south, almost no border.

After a long time, the leader of the mob exhaled with emotion and shook his head greedily.

"This is the grand cause that a husband should have!"

Coincidentally, on the first day of the invasion of the army, Emperor Chongzhen, who has always lived in the deep palace, couldn't help but climb the city and look to the northwest.

However, this time the emperor did not collide with the emperor, after all, both sides were hundreds of thousands of troops, and even Li Zicheng and Chongzhen's positions were separated by four or five miles, and the two of them didn't see each other at all.

However, compared to Li Zicheng's ambition, the late emperor of the Ming Dynasty felt a sense of confusion, a few days ago Guan Ningjun was full of ambition, the victory was in his hands like the spring sun melting snow, disappeared completely, Li Zicheng's eyes are endless cities, his eyes are endless thieves, dense Dashun banners are overwhelming, even if it is just a front army, there are more than 100,000 people, from the north to the south more than 20 miles, the same can not see the momentum.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Seeing Chongzhen's hands couldn't stop trembling violently, Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the Shang Dynasty, couldn't help but call out hurriedly beside him, but Chongzhen still didn't look back, trembling with excitement, and shouted in disbelief.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been working hard all the time, just for fear of delaying the country left by my ancestors! I've been so diligent! But why? Why does the whole world rise up and rebel? ”

Listening to Chongzhen's roar, Wang Chengen was speechless, not only him, but also Wei Zaode, the first assistant university, Li Jiantai, the second assistant, Fang Yuegong, Fan Jingwen and a series of important ministers couldn't help but bow their heads.

However, the corners of Wei Zaode's mouth couldn't help but sneer.

There is a kind of busyness called blind busywork! Sometimes it's better not to be busy! First in thinking about it, the first emperor Tianqi Emperor was busy with carpenter work in the palace every day, and the world was controlled by Wei Zhongxian, at that time, at least the treasury was full, the border army was not chaotic, and when the silver was needed, Gonggong Wei also caught it, which is like this lord was busy with a lot of work, and in the end the court couldn't even get out of the salary of one million taels, and finally had to rely on the donations of the courtiers to get through this difficulty!

However, this sneer was only for a moment, looking at the countless intruders on the horizon, worries also appeared on the faces of these extremely human ministers, and now, how can they keep their privileges and glory?

…………

When Li Zicheng arrived, it was already nearly dusk, and the emperor to the emperor was also short in the case of the sun's westward shift, and more and more troops arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, as the sky became dark, as if the campfire that could be counted with the stars in the sky flickered in the Gyeonggi wilderness, and Emperor Chongzhen also hurried back to the palace.

The location of the office was changed by Emperor Chongzhen and changed to the Linfu Palace, but this auspicious name did not bring some stability to the empire, and the tomb-like dead silence and heavy pressure still pressed everyone to raise their heads.

After a long time, Chongzhen raised his head with difficulty and asked in a dull voice.

"Tomorrow, the thieves are about to attack the city, gentlemen, what is the strategy to break the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, please transfer Liao soldiers!"

Loyal ministers are always loyal ministers, although the last proposal to move south has become a public enemy of the imperial court, Li Mingrui still stood up regardless of himself and kowtowed heavily to the ground.

"The rebellion of the first Tang Dynasty Anshi, the court was poor, and the wealth of the children of the two capitals was exchanged for the soldiers to quell the rebellion, defeated the Anshi rebels, and protected the Tang Dynasty for one hundred and fifty years.

But at this juncture, the lovely cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty have not forgotten the party struggle, and before Li Mingrui finished speaking, Wei Zaode had already stood up and knelt in the atrium.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done! Isn't this just harmony? I am in the Ming Dynasty, how can I bow to a traitor and thief? ”

"Your Majesty, what is the face of the imperial court's move!"

"That's right, once that thief enters the customs, he will enter Beijing with Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty! Your Majesty, behead Li Mingrui!"

In a hurry, a large group of ministers knelt on the ground, their heads were facing the ground, and their buttocks were kowtowing to the sky, but this scene made Chongzhen feel a disgusting breath from the bottom up.

Standing up in silence, he waved his hand in disgust.

"The Qing family retreats!"

It was really the end of the night, seeing that the emperor was turning away, those important ministers looked at each other, and they had no intention of competing with each other, but at this time, outside the hall, Wang Chengen trotted in in a hurry, and knelt down heavily in front of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Du Xun is back!"

Du Xun is the eunuch of Juyong Guan, since Juyong Guan was closed two days ago, there is no news of him, he came back, at least he can bring back some enemy information, Chongzhen, who was already disheartened, couldn't help but sit back again, stretched out his hand to greet him.

"Let him in!"

After all, he was from the palace, and Du Xun returned to the palace quickly, and even Wang Chengen was a little happy, and he led him into the palace when he turned around, but when he arrived at the court, looking at the emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who were watching him, the eunuch Du Xun's expression suddenly became embarrassed.

"Du Xun, why don't you hurry up and see Your Majesty?"

A little surprised to see him standing there, his tone was a little hurried, and Wang Chengen's anxiety whispered behind him.

This sentence seemed to finally force Du Xun to have no way out, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, the eunuch still didn't kneel, but took out a roll of yellow juan cloth from his sleeve.

"Our family Du Xun, on the order of Emperor Dashun, presents a letter of state to Emperor Daming!"

"You, you actually took refuge in the thief!!"

Even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not believe it and were unreliable, at least Emperor Chongzhen had not suspected the domestic slaves and cronies and eunuchs around him, and Du Xun's series of cold words and sentences were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, full of anger, his arms trembled, and he suddenly stood up in disbelief and pointed at Du Xun's nose.

finally couldn't bear the pressure, and the renegade eunuch finally knelt heavily on the ground, holding the national book on his head, and trembling.

"Your Majesty, the old slave can't help it! Old slave, this is also for the good of Your Majesty! ”

"For my good!"

Furious, Chongzhen was a little angry, and he laughed a few times so grotesquely, and he pointed at Du Xun's nose again.

"Okay, you dog slave tell me, how did you do it for me?"

Trembling like chaff, Du Xun hurriedly opened the yellow juan cloth again, and muttered in a trembling voice, however, listening to the content of the juan cloth, the expressions of Wei Zaode's ministers couldn't help but become moved.

And this ......, this good thing?
