Because of Zhang Tongchang's desperate resistance, the twenty personal guards guarding Zhai Shiyun finally succeeded in breaking through and retreating. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they arrived outside Wuzhou City, when the captain of the pro-soldier squad untied the rope tied to Zhai Shiyun's body, Zhai Shiyun snatched the horsewhip and slapped it fiercely on the captain of the pro-soldier squad who untied her, and roared angrily: "You are really bold, dare to disobey the military order and coerce the military master!" Believe it or not, this pavilion asked Shang Fang's sword to cut you all? ”

When all the pro-soldiers heard this, they knelt down one after another to plead guilty, and the captain of the pro-soldier squad who was whipped by the horse whip said solemnly: "As long as the cabinet is safe and sound, the last general is willing to be dealt with by military law, and there will be no complaints!" ”

"We are willing to be subject to military law, and we will never complain!"

The kindness of the guard, how he didn't know, just doing this, it was indeed trapping him in injustice, Zhai Shiyun heard this, stood for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's it, that's it." ”

He didn't say how to deal with them, but he turned over and got on his horse, and wanted to return to the Dongyuan Road, he really didn't have the face to meet the emperor and the soldiers and civilians of Wuzhou.

"Lord Cabinet, Lindu has fallen into the hands of thieves, don't go again!" Seeing this, all the relatives and soldiers couldn't help but exclaim, and the bold ones even pulled the saddle and didn't let the horse continue to move forward.

"Let it go!" Zhai Shiyun went down with another whip and drove away the soldier who was pulling the saddle.

"If Lord Cabinet does this, Lord Zhang will die in vain!" An elderly soldier in the crowd sobbed.

When Zhai Shiyun heard this, he was like being struck by lightning, and the whip he had just raised couldn't be waved anymore.

Once upon a time, he thought that Zhang Tongchang was a coward, greedy for life and afraid of death, and he also used his safety as a shield to commit chaos, weaved a reason for escaping, and did not dare to die with him.

Until the end, Zhang Tongchang told him with his actions that he was not afraid of death, he was not a coward, but a great man and husband who was loyal and courageous, and did not care about selfishness!

From the moment Zhang Tongchang privately decided to stay behind, Zhai Shiyun had already forgiven him from the bottom of his heart.

"Together! It's the old man who blames you, it's the glory of the old man to have a student like you! I hope to be your teacher again in my next life. ”

Thinking of this, Zhai Shiyun's heart couldn't help but be filled with deep self-blame.

At this moment, three or four knights of the brocade guard rushed out of the city, and when they came to Zhai Shiyun and the others, they dismounted and said: "The Holy Lord's edict, the scholar of Xuandong Pavilion, and the assistant minister of Jingying Rongzheng Zhai Shiyun enter the palace to face the king." ”

"The criminal minister Zhai Shiyun took the order."

The emperor's words Zhai Shiyun had to listen, so he had to give up the plan in his heart and follow the brocade knight into the city.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhu Youlang personally greeted him and helped Zhai Shiyun, who was about to kneel and salute.

"Sir, it's hard work."

Seeing that the emperor was so respectful, Zhai Shiyun blamed himself even more in his heart, his eyes were red, and he sobbed: "The sinner is incompetent, and he has a negative grace!" ”

"Mr. doesn't have to blame himself, Zhaoqing is no longer responsible for losing his responsibilities, in me!" Speaking of this, Zhu Youlang burst into tears, choked up and couldn't speak, after getting the news that Zhai Shiyun and his party entered Guangxi, he guessed the ending, Zhaoqing soldiers are outnumbered, in his opinion, it is not easy to hold on for two or three days, but he didn't expect Zhai Shiyun to hold on for five days. If it weren't for Chen Bang Fu Yang and poor rescue, maybe he could have stayed longer, as soon as he thought of this, Zhu Youlang hated Chen Bang Fu so much, this guy is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed!

After sitting down, Zhu Youlang asked Zhai Shiyun about the battle situation and enemy situation in Zhaoqing, and Zhai Shiyun said 1510, when he said that Zhang Tongchang did not hesitate to sacrifice his life in order to protect himself, he couldn't help but cry again: "The old man can't stand him!" ”

Zhu Youlang couldn't help but pat his seat, and said with a chill in his eyes: "Zhang Xianqing and those hundred Ming warriors will not die in vain, Li Chengdong, I will kill them!" ”

With tears in his eyes, Zhai Shiyun got up and bowed, and said with a resolute face: "The criminal minister is willing to drive forward for my emperor and mention the head of the Han thief to comfort the spirit of the mountain in the sky!" ”

"Good! Good! Zhu Youlang said movingly: "As long as our monarchs and ministers work together, I believe that I will come back sooner or later this day!" Well, sooner or later! ”

With the loss of the Zhaoqing front, the capital city of Wuzhou, Guangxi Province was in turmoil, three times a day, the people were panicked, and there were riots from time to time.

It was not until a few days later that the Qing army showed no signs of attacking, and the people's hearts calmed down a little, and martial law and curfew were relaxed a little.

It's not that Li Chengdong doesn't understand the truth of the speed of soldiers, but he was caught by a troublesome thing, when he was trying to take advantage of the victory to take Wuzhou and cut off the head of the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Youlang, something happened in his rear, Ye Ruri, the leader of the Daojiao volunteers, set up an ambush in the rear, and suddenly attacked, killing hundreds of Qing soldiers who were not guarded against the grain team, and the governor of Guangdong, Tong Yangjia, sent more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers to rescue, and was killed by the righteous army more than 300, and the reinforcements were defeated.

Li Chengdong, who had just broken through Zhaoqing, was shocked when he inquired, and in line with the idea that the outside of the bag must be safe first, he first sent the general soldier Shi Lang to go by water, and then left some soldiers and horses to garrison Zhaoqing, and he personally led the main force to march by land to Daojiao, and Wuzhou finally got a chance to breathe again.

In Wuzhou City, because of the arrival of Zhai Shiyun, Zhu Youlang got a strong arm, and his character made both the Qingliu of the same faction and the eunuchs who opposed him very respectful, and his prestige and qualifications were also among the best in the imperial court, so Zhu Youlang handed over the power of military Wucheng defense to Zhai Shiyun, and Zhai Shiyun also lived up to expectations. Gathering the ministers of the army, industry, and households, they discussed a defense plan overnight: while holding on to and waiting for reinforcements, the walls were cleared, the army and city defenses were reorganized, and the enemy was fought to resist the enemy under the fortified city.

The next day, Wuzhou announced that the whole city was about to fight, and at the same time mobilized the people of the state city to actively prepare for the war. Thousands of young men were shirtless, carrying soil and stones, sweating like rain, the city wall was heightened and thickened again, the moat was widened and dug deep, the houses outside the city wall were all demolished, and the grain and Dingkou were included in the city.

Everyone is willing to listen to Zhai Shiyun's arrangement and decision-making, and only one person is dissatisfied during this period, and he is Chen Bangfu!

Before Zhai Shiyun entered Wuzhou, there was basically no one among the central bosses who could compete with Chen Bangfu. At the same time, Chen Bangfu's concubine father Mao Shouxian, and his close staff member Shen Weiyuan held the positions of officials and soldiers respectively, so the power of the imperial court to transfer troops and the right to appoint and dismiss officials were almost usurped by Chen Bangfu.

In view of the last incident, the remaining officials either defected to Chen Bangfu, or they did not dare to act rashly because of his might, so the outer court was roughly in the hands of Chen Bangfu at that time. Chen Bangfu finally experienced the feeling of being high and powerful, and this feeling really made him feel great.
