When Xiao Ruxun led his troops to arrive at the county seat of Qixian County, he saw that the gate of the county was closed, and thought that something was wrong, but the battle flag of the Ming Dynasty was still hanging on the city gate, and the Ming army could be vaguely seen on the city.

So he immediately sent for the city to call for the door.

And inside the city, Zhu Minchun, who was so frightened that he had no master, heard that there was a Ming army coming outside the city, and quickly asked, "Who is coming?" How many soldiers and horses came? ”

The herald said: "The other party said that it was Xiao Ruxun, the chief military officer of the Imperial Border Pingyu Commander, who led the troops to come, and there were a lot of military horses, and a lot of cavalry, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and it always cost tens of thousands. ”

"Xiao Ruxun?"

Zhu Minchun blinked, and suddenly remembered the name, he looked at the Qi County Commander and the Qi County Guard, and saw that the two of them showed ecstasy, so he determined what the name meant something.

Xiao Ruxun, the first general of Wanli, has never encountered defeat since the war, and can shine in every big battle, so he is deeply relied on by the emperor, but three years ago he has gone south to guard Burma, and then was named the Marquis of Burma Town, and it stands to reason that he will not return to the north......

Since he has returned, it means that he was summoned back by the emperor.

Undoubtedly, it's him!

"Let him in!"

Zhu Minchun hurriedly said, but was stopped by the Qi County guard.

"Your Highness, no! We haven't verified their identities yet, so we have to put them in after verifying their identities, otherwise what if it's a trick of the northern captives? Your Highness's safety is too important, and we have to be cautious! ”

What he said is still very reasonable, Zhu Minchun thinks it is right, and the county magistrate of Qi County has no opinion, so the three of them drove straight to the north city gate to see if Xiao Ruxun and his so-called army are true or false, if it is true, then there is nothing to say, put it directly, if it is fake, it is over, everyone can prepare for a desperate battle.

Then Zhu Minchun is going crazy.

Fortunately, he is a lucky person, he climbed the city tower and let the people around him shout to Xiao Ruxun Han, let him come to meet the King of Jin, Xiao Ruxun knew that Zhu Minchun had doubts about his identity, and it was not surprising, he took off his military helmet, revealed the Han hair ornament, stepped forward, and then dismounted in front of the city gate, kneeling on one knee.

"The last general, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Border Pingyu, and the Marquis of Zhennan, Xiao Ruxun, meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin!"

The sergeants behind Xiao Ruxun also dismounted in unison, and shouted in unison: "Meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" ”

Zhu Minchun cried with joy, and said again and again: "It's the Ming army!" It's the Ming Army, that's right! It is the Ming army! Hurry up, open the gates and let them in! Open the gates!! ”

This time, no one objected, the city gate was opened smoothly, and Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the army to form a team, and then slowly entered the county seat of Qixian County.

Entering the city, Xiao Ruxun, Li Rusong and a group of senior officers climbed the city tower to meet Zhu Minchun, the king of Jin.

"Xiao Ruxun greets His Highness!"

"The last general, Li Rusong, greets His Highness!"

Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong saluted Zhu Minchun together, and Zhu Minchun hurriedly stepped forward to support - obediently, the two famous generals of the Ming Dynasty have arrived, this is really safe, and it can't be safer anymore.

Faced with such a famous general coming to the rescue, Zhu Minchun was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to help the two up.

"The two generals came at the right time! It's just the right time! Seeing that the northern captives are coming, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the county seat of Qixian County is not very tall, so it is categorically impossible to hold it. That's great! ”

Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong glanced at each other, and then spoke: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin, how did you know that the Northern Captives army will come?" ”

The guard general of Qi County came up and replied: "An hour ago, a group of ragged horse troops came from Jiaocheng in the northwest, saying that the army of the northern captives raided Jiaocheng, and Jiaocheng had fallen, and now a large number of northern captives are coming to Qi County, and the situation is very critical. ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and before he could speak, Zhu Minchun couldn't help but ask, "General Xiao, what is the war going on now?" Wang Shiyang left the king here and ignored it, only sent 3,000 troops and horses to protect the king, and said that there would be no northern captives coming, what is going on now? ”

Xiao Ruxun decided to tell Zhu Minchun everything about it.

"Your Royal Highness, Taiyuan has fallen, it was the surprise attack of the northern captives, Governor Wang Shiyang was in Xinzhou at the time, after learning the news, he was angry, vomiting blood and sick, unable to govern, just the last general arrived in Xinzhou at that time It was not a quarter of an hour, Governor Wang temporarily handed over the power of the governor to the last general, and Governor Wang is now on the sickbed."

"What?!"

Zhu Minchun looked surprised and inexplicable, and the county magistrate of Qi County and the guard general of Qi County behind him were also surprised.

"The purpose of the northern captives going south this time is strange, their whereabouts are strange, beyond common sense, and they will actually use a plan to hide the main army in the mountains, fight our army with the old, weak, sick and disabled, and retreat one after another, inducing Governor Wang to go north to pursue those old and weak, thereby weakening Taiyuan's defense, and then attacking and capturing Taiyuan."

Zhu Minchun shook it a few times, then immediately grabbed Xiao Ruxun's hand and asked, "Is Taiyuan still in the hands of Beiyu now?" ”

Xiao Ruxun shook his head and said: "No, Taiyuan has been recovered, four hours after the northern captives captured Taiyuan, they withdrew by themselves, and when the last general arrived, there were no northern captives in Taiyuan City, just ......"

"Just what?"

Zhu Minchun asked hurriedly.

"It's just that including the Jin Palace, all the official mansions and military facilities, warehouses, etc., were premeditated by the Northern Captives to burn down, the officials were almost killed, the rich households in the city were also wiped out, all were killed, the gold and silver treasures in the city were basically looted away, and the Northern Captives were completely premeditated to capture Taiyuan, and then withdrew."

Zhu Minchun didn't hear it clearly, only heard the previous sentence - his Jin Palace's mansion was burned.

The best palace of the Ming Dynasty built by the ancestors for the Jin kings of the past dynasties...... Burned like that?

Wang Shiyang...... You lied to me...... You lied to me!

Zhu Minchun sat on the ground with a butt, and it took a while to recover his strength.

The Qi County Guard and the Qi County Commander have been scared silly.

"Your Highness, although Taiyuan has been recovered at this time, but this northern captives have no strange whereabouts, it is really a problem for our henchmen, I don't know if it is the main force that came to Qi County this time, if not, if it is just a partial division, it can be proved that these northern captives have been divided into troops to plunder in many places, and the target is unknown.

This time was repulsed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no comeback next time, and the last general will not be able to take care of His Highness, therefore, in order to avoid the northern captives may cause harm to His Highness, at present, in the entire Shanxi territory, only the last general is the safest.

Therefore, the last general asked His Highness to make up his mind to follow the last general, and be closely protected by the last general and General Li, so as to ensure the safety of His Highness. ”

Xiao Ruxun directly said his thoughts.
