After the audience, Chen Yue and Tang Tong left the palace together.

"Brother Chen, when are we going to Shanhaiguan?" Tang Tong asked with a smile.

"Of course, the sooner the better, prepare it today, and start pulling it out early tomorrow morning." Chen Yue said.

"In such a hurry? We're just going to change guards with Wu Sangui, not to fight. Tang Tong smiled bitterly.

"I said Brother Tang, we just voted for Dashun, and we haven't made an inch, so naturally we must be cautious and behave well, and we must not bring out the previous lazy appearance again. Besides, there is still half a day left today, which is enough for us to prepare for the army. ”

Li Zicheng had already sent someone to accept Tianjin, and Chen Yue was very worried about Yang Zhengping's reaction, because it was the last retreat.

"Brother Chen, you're right, we have to show King Shun." Tang Tong nodded, agreeing with Chen Yue's words.

The two agreed to send troops early tomorrow morning, and then they parted.

With two guards riding through the outer city and returning to the camp outside Yongding Gate, Chen Yue immediately ordered to summon the officers above the general level, and he wanted to deploy the matter of pulling out the camp tomorrow.

Led by Chen Yan, Wei Yang, Liu Neng, Jin Xin, Ma Chuang, Li Yulin and other officers were summoned, and even Yu Feng, who was escorted, was brought in.

Chen Yue is in the center, Chen Jianghe and Shan Minglei are sitting on the left and right. Chen Yue told everyone about pulling out the camp and sending troops, and asked the generals to go back and lead his soldiers to prepare for the camp. In addition to weapons and horses, it is required to bring enough dry food for ten days, and no other baggage is required.

"My lord, don't you bring a chariot with you?" Jin Xin asked in surprise. The 1,500 people in the right battalion, in addition to those who rebelled with Hao Shaoqi, there were more than 600 people left, all of whom were led by Jin Xin. The right battalion is a chariot infantry, how can you fight without a chariot?

"Unload the horses that pull the carts and use them to carry the tiger and squat cannons, and throw away all the other materials." Chen Yue said, not really going to Shanhaiguan, but to flee for his life, naturally he had to travel lightly, and taking the chariot really slowed down the speed of the march.

"Yes." Jin Xin agreed with a bitter face, without the chariot, the combat effectiveness of the right battalion has been sharply reduced, not to mention that without those baggage guys, I am afraid that they will have to camp in the open air.

After the generals dispersed, Chen Yue looked at Yu Feng, who was speechless.

"It's been a few days, have you figured it out?" Chen Yue asked coldly.

"Even if you kill me, I will never surrender to the thief!" Yu Feng raised his head and looked at Chen Yue stubbornly.

"You will change your mind," Chen Yue laughed, and turned to Chen Jianghe, "Please take this donkey to meet that person." ”

Chen Jianghe nodded with a smile and pulled Yu Feng away. As long as he sees Chongzhen, I believe that Yu Feng will immediately understand his approach. Among the generals, if Yu Feng is second to none in terms of his ability to lead troops, Chen Yue is ready to reuse him.

"My lord, have you communicated with Tang Tong Tang General Bing, what is his idea?" When everyone dispersed, Shan Minglei asked Chen Yuedao.

Chen Yue shook his head: "Tang Tong, this person is towards Qin Duchu, and he doesn't have any loyalty in his heart, I tested it, and now he is full of meritorious service for the new dynasty, so that he can become an official and become a knight." In addition, Li Zicheng treats him well, and has already named him Dingxibo, and it is difficult to persuade him. ”

"If you can't do it, kill him and swallow up his army." Shan Minglei said fiercely.

"Brother Shi Jian, is it really a good choice to go to Shanhaiguan?" Chen Yue looked at Shan Minglei with blazing eyes.

Shan Minglei was immediately anxious when he heard this: "My lord, didn't we say it yesterday, why are you so hesitant?" Don't be indecisive for the general! ”

Chen Yue shook his head: "It's not that I hesitated, things have changed." When I met Li Zicheng today, he clearly told me that he was going to send someone to Tianjin to recruit surrender, and ordered me to write a letter on the spot, asking Yang Zhengping to hand over Tianjin to the newly sent Dashun officials. Tianjin is our last retreat, and once we lose, it will be difficult for us to retreat to the south. ”

"Then don't retreat, let Yang Zhengping lead the troops to join us and go to Shanhaiguan together, so that our strength will increase to 5,000 people, and we will have a better chance of winning!" Shan Minglei gritted his teeth and said.

"Even if everything goes well, we can merge with Tang Tong's army and persuade Wu Sangui to surrender, but there is one thing you have thought about, no one knows the news that Your Majesty is alive at the moment, and the south still thinks that Your Majesty is martyred. Once we spend too long in Shanhaiguan, Nanjing will definitely support a new monarch, what should we do then? Do you lead troops to fight with the new court for the throne? ”

"This ......" Shan Minglei couldn't help but fall silent, he had never thought of this situation.

If it is really as Chen Yue said, Nanjing has established another emperor, where should these people go? According to common sense, this situation will definitely occur, after all, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The new monarch will definitely not be willing to return the throne to Chongzhen again, and civil strife will inevitably occur at that time.

"As long as we take Your Majesty to Nanjing smoothly, it will be a great credit, and it will be no problem to pay homage to the Marquis in the future. Why bother to do such a dangerous thing! Chen Yue said lightly, he had completely thought about the stakes of the matter.

Shan Minglei was silent, he could no longer say anything against it, and his hard-thinking plan was rejected, which made his heart full of frustration.

"Brother Shi Jian, think about it, I'll go and report this matter to Your Majesty." Chen Yue patted Shan Minglei on the shoulder, got up and left the big tent.

When he walked outside the room where Chongzhen lived, he saw Yu Feng walking out with excitement on his face, and saw Chen Yue kneeling on the ground with a "poof".

"My lord, I blame you!" Yu Feng lowered his head, his face full of shame.

"I can't blame you for this, it's too big, and the news that Your Majesty is alive doesn't dare to leak it easily." Chen Yue nodded.

"Yes, the subordinates are absolutely tight-lipped!" Yu Feng swore an oath.

"Well, go ahead, you still lead your original subordinates and hurry up to prepare for the camp and send troops!" Chen Yue ordered.

Yu Feng agreed, saluted and left.

......

"This General Yu is a great loyal minister." In the inner room, Kun Xing said to Chongzhen with a smile.

Chongzhen nodded: "I still have many loyal ministers in Daming, such as Yu Feng, such as Chen Yue's father and son." ”

"Father, you have to reuse them in the future, especially Chen Yue, what a risk did you take to rescue us." Princess Kunxing said.

Chongzhen smiled and nodded, looking at his beautiful and lovely daughter, a thought suddenly rose in his heart.

"Kunxing, what do you think of Chen Yue?"

"That's good! Father, what's wrong with you? Princess Kunxing asked in surprise, not knowing the purpose of Chongzhen's questioning.

"Why don't I give you to Chen Yue and let him be your concubine?" Chongzhen looked at his daughter with a smile.

"Yikes!" Princess Kunxing's face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears, and her heart was pounding like a deer.

"Hee-hee!" Looking at Princess Kunxing's shy and cute appearance, Zhang Xiu'er, who was waiting for Chongzhen on the side, couldn't help laughing.

"Father, you bully me!" Kun Xing was so ashamed that he couldn't stay any longer, stomped his foot hard, turned around and ran out.
