Wang Shiyang never considered that Taiyuan City would fall, never imagined that the impregnable Taiyuan Xiongcheng would fall this day, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than 200 years, Taiyuan is not without crisis, but Taiyuan has never fallen, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has never been.

But right now, smoke is rising from the city of Taiyuan, and there are explosions!

Could it be an accident?

"Go find out what the hell is going on with the old man right away! How can there be smoke in Taiyuan City? How could such a thing happen?! ”

Wang Shiyang was a little angry, and after a word of yelling, he couldn't stand still, staggering as if he was about to fall, Xiao Ruxun hurriedly stood up and supported Wang Shiyang.

"Call the doctor right away!"

Xiao Ruxun instructed a few subordinates from the Governor's Palace, and several subordinates hurriedly rushed out, Xiao Ruxun helped Wang Shiyang to sit on a chair, but as soon as he sat down, Wang Shiyang screamed in pain and vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Overseer! Overseer! Overseer! ”

Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong looked at Wang Shiyang nervously.

Now that the chaos is suddenly rising, Wang Shiyang vomits blood, which is by no means a good sign.

"Ji Xin! Ji Xin! ”

Wang Shiyang vomited blood, gasped for breath, and immediately held Xiao Ruxun's hand.

"Overseer, I'm here."

"Ji Xin, Taiyuan can't afford to lose! Don't dare to lose! If Taiyuan falls and is destroyed, then it will be a big trouble, Ji Xin, the old man can't command you, but the old man can temporarily hand over the seal ribbon to you, before the old man's health improves, you can command the overall situation instead of the old man, now, I can only rely on you! We can't let Taiyuan lose! ”

Xiao Ruxun did not refuse.

"The last general obeys!"

When the doctors in the palace hurriedly came over to settle Wang Shiyang, Xiao Ruxun took over the seal representing the governor's power, and rushed out of the governor's palace without saying a word.

"Admiral, isn't that wrong? Without the official letter of the imperial order and the Ministry of War, he took over the seal of the governor without authorization, if this is spread, I am afraid that it will be true, and we are still military generals, and the position of the governor is too heavy! There has never been a precedent for a military general to serve as a governor! ”

Li Rusong caught up with Xiao Ruxun and said hurriedly.

"The position of Admiral is also very important, and I did it too! General Li, at the moment we can mobilize less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, if the fire in Taiyuan City is set by the northern captives, then the northern captives are at least 30,000 people, how can we face the enemy head-on?

If you don't get the governor's seal ribbon to control the soldiers and horses in the second town of Yulin, Shaanxi, if Taiyuan City is really destroyed, you, me, Wang Inspector and the generals who participated in the war are all at risk of losing their heads, and they are in a hurry to follow the power, and they can't manage so much! General Li Bing, go to order troops immediately, and I will go to gather the soldiers and horses in Xinzhou. ”

Xiao Ruxun immediately began to give orders, Li Rusong was stunned for a while, stomped his feet, and rushed to the direction of the garrison of the Liaodong Army.

Soon, Xiao Ruxun used the governor's ribbon to appease the Xinzhou army that was worried because of the Taiyuan accident, and immediately decided to leave only 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the remaining soldiers and horses all went south to Taiyuan with him, ready to fight a tough battle.

The Xinzhou army was afraid of Xiao Ruxun's prestige and the governor Yin Shou did not dare to disobey, but the governor of Xinzhou was anxious, and he also knew the news of the changes in Taiyuan, so he rushed to the military camp as soon as possible to ask the army to deploy defenses in Xinzhou, so as not to come to Xinzhou after those northern captives disaster Taiyuan disaster, then he would not be able to find the blame.

Now when he saw that Xiao Ruxun was going to transfer troops south, he was immediately furious and immediately stopped it.

"You are the Admiral, but you have no right to mobilize Xinzhou soldiers and horses!"

Xiao Ruxun glared at this person angrily, and showed the governor's seal: "This is given to me by Inspector Wang, so that I can act as the governor before his health improves, that is to say, now, I, Xiao Ruxun, have the power of the governor!" The soldiers and horses of the four towns of Yulin, Xuanda Shanxi, listen to my orders! How dare you stand in my way?! ”

The governor of Xinzhou was taken aback.

"How is this possible! You're just a general, and even if you're acting on your behalf, you don't have the power of a governor!" Inspector Wang was dizzy! ”

Xiao Ruxun was furious, and immediately pulled out his sword and crossed the neck of this Zhizhou: "You dare to doubt Inspector Wang?!" The governor's seal is here, and I am acting as the governor's office, which is explained by the king's supervisor! If you have any doubts, go and ask him, but I am going to lead the troops now, and if you dare to stop you, I will kill you first, then kill the northern captives, and finally kill myself! ”

The governor of Xinzhou has never met a military general who dares to hold a knife across his neck, and his Zhizhou is not the Zhizhou of Zhili Prefecture, his status is the same as that of Zhixian, the grade is not high, and there is no backstage, but he doesn't dare to really fight against Xiao Ruxun, a super marquis.

He decisively let go of the cruel words and left in embarrassment.

"The Xinzhou army listens to my orders!"

The generals of the Xinzhou Army saw Fang Cai's scene, and they didn't dare to doubt it, and immediately decided to obey Xiao Ruxun's order.

"No!"

From this time on, Xiao Ruxun officially took over the command of Wang Shiyang and began to control the overall situation.

First of all, he urgently wrote several military orders in the name of Wang Shiyang, and transferred several cavalry from Yulin Town and Taiyuan Town back to the south.

Now the trouble of the northern captives is not in Datong, but in Taiyuan, if the trouble of these henchmen is not eliminated immediately, it is useless to fight back, no matter how sharp they are.

It was at this time that Xiao Ruxun finally figured out all the problems that he hadn't figured out.

Why did Wang Shiyang say that the failure of the northern captives was too strange and too fast, because this was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the main force of the Ming army was transferred away from Taiyuan, so that Taiyuan's defense capability was greatly reduced, and it was impossible to threaten the northern captives, and this group of northern captives was obviously the group that quietly evacuated from the Bauhinia Pass.

After they evacuated, they went all the way south, I don't know where they were hiding, in short, they were hidden, and the location was probably in the Taihang Mountains.

Taking advantage of the deaths of more than 10,000 people, in exchange for this opportunity to disrupt the overall plan of the Ming army, why were these northern captives so decisive? That Shunyi king is really so scheming?

Xiao Ruxun didn't dare to be sure, he couldn't believe it, but everything in front of him told him that Pull Like was a very difficult character to deal with, and he was ruthless in exchanging so many lives for an opportunity to attack Taiyuan, and he didn't know what the reason was.

Since they have paid so much price, then the purpose must be something in Taiyuan City, something that can make up for their losses.

Grain? Wealth? Population?

But why is it Taiyuan?

Until this time, Xiao Ruxun still didn't know the reason why Beiyu chose to attack Taiyuan.

Soon, the soldiers and horses in Xinzhou City quickly maneuvered, all the horses that could be used were used, and all those who could ride horses were required to get on horses instead of walking, with the Liaodong cavalry and the Jurchen cavalry as the lead, Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong personally led the lead cavalry.

The remaining infantry, which had no horses to walk, was handed over to Xiao Ruxun's personal general, Wang Hui, to take command, and then arrived.

During this period, two more sentry cavalry rushed directly to Xinzhou City to report the news of Taiyuan, saying that the situation in Taiyuan City was very bad, and it was basically certain that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, and the specific situation was unknown.
