"Your Majesty, ahead is the border town of Xuanfu, Xuanfu has passed, it is a solid pass, do we really have to go out of the solid pass? Outside the Guguan Pass, it is completely the territory of the Tatars, in that case, if we are discovered by the Tatars, wouldn't it be dangerous? ”

The sun is thin, the wild wind is fierce, Zhu Houzhao's team has been marching for several days, and now they have come to the vicinity of Xuanfu. It's just that at this time, Luo Xiang, who has been following closely and serving as the escort, is a little worried. Because Zhu Houzhao's plan at this time was to go directly through Xuanfu, go out of Guguan, enter the grassland, and then go around to Ulan Bucha, and then go back to Datong from Ningxia. It's a bit whimsical. You must know that outside this Guguan, it is completely under the jurisdiction of the Tatars, and the Ulan Bucha steppe has always been a place coveted by the Tatars, so it is absolutely unsafe to go out of the Guguan Road, once their whereabouts are exposed and they are targeted by the Tatars, he doesn't dare to imagine what will happen, so at this time, he can't help but be a little worried, and strongly advise Zhu Houzhao not to take such a risk.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao also knew these things, but he still decided to go to Xuanfu for a while, because he had a lot of thoughts in his heart at this time, and he felt that he had finally come out like this, and it would be a bit too much pity if he couldn't see the life scenes of the border guards with his own eyes. In addition, he was eager to see what the Tatars were like, so that he could gain insight into the enemy's situation. However, the reason why he was so bold and dared to go to the grassland was not because he had no brains. The reason why he did this was actually because he knew that this season was the time when the water and grass on the steppe were abundant, and the Tatars were nomadic people, walking after the water and grass, and there would be no shortage of food and clothing, so these Tatars. In fact, it is rare to use troops against the Ming at this time. That is, on the steppe at this time. On the side near the Great Wall, it's mostly safe.

So, now Zhu Houzhao decided to take a risk and play a big one, but he didn't know it. His idea was about to scare Luo Xiang to death, and at this time, Luo Xiang couldn't help but start thinking again, preparing to send someone to send a letter to Yang Tinghe.

However, these things are still a matter of later story, after all, they have just arrived at the Xuanfu now. And it was already late, so Zhu Houzhao decided to let the team enter the Xuanfu first, rest for a while, and replenish the supplies by the way. Then we will continue our journey.

So, between the words. The team drove into the Xuanfu and found a village courtyard and settled down. And Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the night to take Xiao Yuer and others to go around the street. Be prepared to observe the people in the border areas.

After Zhu Houzhao left, Luo Xiang immediately began to move, he first sent people to rush back to the imperial court to deliver the letter, and at the same time sent his cronies to inform the resident commander of the Xuanfu, so that they would pay attention to protect His Majesty, and then he came out to the street, found the marks left by the personnel of the inner factory, and connected with the members of the inner factory here, and inquired about some news.

As a result, what Luo Xiang didn't expect was that when he probed like this, he was immediately shocked that his heart was about to jump out.

"This, these are all true?!" In the darkness, Luo Xiang grabbed the shoulder of the secret agent of the inner factory and asked.

"My lord, this is true, and the villain will not dare to talk nonsense," said the secret agent.

"Okay, you did a good job, these news are very important, this seat will now promote you to a thousand households in the inner factory, and serve as the head of the inner factory in Xuanfu, you go now, be sure to report this news to Beijing urgently, and at the same time inform the garrison of Xuanfu and Guguan, tell them to take precautions, don't let the Tatars have a chance!" Luo Xiang said to the man.

"Yes, villain command!" As the spy spoke, he turned around and disappeared into the night, but Luo Xiang's side rushed to the courtyard where they were stationed in a hurry.

The night was very good, at this time Zhu Houzhao accompanied Xiao Yu'er, was wandering around the night market in Xuanfu, during which she inevitably bought her a lot of strange gadgets, which made Xiao Yu'er very happy, although her psychological age is not very young, but after all, she is a girl, and most girls like these novel gadgets, so she is still quite happy at the moment.

However, just when they were full of joy, a soldier rushed over and whispered to Zhu Houzhao, which immediately made Zhu Houzhao frown.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this situation, Xiao Yu'er asked with some doubts.

"Hey, I don't know, this Luo Xiang, but he is getting better and better at putting on music, and he even ordered someone to call us back, saying that there is an emergency, I really don't know what urgent matter he can have." Zhu Houzhao said to Xiao Yu'er.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'er frowned slightly and said: "Luo Xiang has always been steady in doing things, since he said that there is something urgent, I am afraid that it is not a fraud, I think we should go back and have a look." ”

"Okay, then let's go back, it's not too early, go back early, it's okay to rest, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow," Zhu Houzhao obeyed Xiao Yu'er's words, and immediately returned to the courtyard where they were temporarily stationed with Xiao Yu'er.

It's just that what Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the door, Luo Xiang had already rushed over, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, and said to him quickly: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, we are going to suffer this, but we must not get out of the solid pass, the Tatars are about to attack!" ”

"Nonsense, this is the season when the water and grass are abundant, and the Tatars do not go to graze, but why do they come to attack me? Aren't you alarmist? Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but shout coldly.

"Your Majesty, you are right, but, but now the situation is special, hey, the slave doesn't know what to say," Luo Xiang hurriedly got up and led Zhu Houzhao and the others into the lobby, and then he secretly gave Zhu Houzhao a look, which naturally meant to talk to Zhu Houzhao alone.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but wonder for a while, and immediately let the rest of the soldiers go out, but Xiao Yu'er was left behind by him.

Seeing that Xiao Yu'er didn't leave, Luo Xiang trembled, a little anxious, and was still reluctant to say it for a while.

Luo Xiang's actions made Zhu Houzhao a little displeased, and he couldn't help but say at the moment: "Luo Xiang, if you have anything to say, just say it." For the sake of Xiao Yu'er, I don't even want the country, what else do I need to hide from her? You say, don't be so frightened, Xiao Yu'er is not an outsider. ”

"Yes, yes, the slave is guilty, and the slave is not compensating the county lord," Luo Xiang first bowed to Xiao Yu'er and apologized, and then said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, something big has happened now." I heard that he colluded with Zhou Ang, the commander of Ningxia, killed Jiang Han, the chief soldier of Ningxia, and Li Zeng, the eunuch of the town, and sent troops to kill the governor An Weixue, Shaoqing Zhou Dong and a group of generals in charge of the army. Not only that, but the minions also heard that he released prisoners, burned palaces, robbed treasury treasures, seized river boats, wantonly extorted the kings of Qingfu, and plundered thousands of gold coins as military funds. At the same time, he divided the generals, guarded the passes, passed on the crimes of the slaves and Zhang Yonggaofeng and others, and was determined to fight against the imperial court, which seemed to have become a big trend. Your Majesty, when this matter came out, Guanzhong was shaken, you must not continue to patrol privately, let's go back to the capital quickly, Your Majesty! ”

As Luo Xiang spoke, he knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.

It's just that what Luo Xiang didn't expect was that after listening to his words, Zhu Houzhao was not only not shocked, but said with a happy look: "Hehe, this Zhu Zhifan is also out of luck, he dared to rebel, and he did such a beautiful job, not bad!" ”

"Your Majesty, why are you still in the mood to joke at this time?" When Luo Xiang heard this, he really had the heart to commit suicide. What the hell is wrong with this emperor? Everyone has rebelled, why do you still look like a nobody?

As a result, what Luo Xiang didn't expect again was that when he heard his words, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said, "Luo Xiang, I'm not joking. To tell you the truth, I came out this time and wanted to fight a good battle, and this King of Anhua fulfilled my wish. Come on, you go to the order now, the whole army sets off, let's not rest, go directly to the Bauhinia Pass, go to Datong Mansion, I want to personally meet the king of Anhua for a while, and see how capable he is! ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Luo Xiang sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think we can leave the Xuan Mansion for the time being." ”

"What do you mean? Why can't we leave Xuanfu? Zhu Hou looked at Luo Xiang and asked with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, didn't the slave say it just now? The Tatar army was about to attack. Your Majesty, why do you think this is? Let me tell you the truth, this is also the ghost of King Anhua. The minions heard that he not only occupied Ningxia and rebelled, but also sent people to collude with the little prince of Boyan, and led his troops to attack Sanguan in order to delay Yang Yiqing's troops. Now the army of the Tatars, but it is less than two hundred miles away from here, I am afraid that it will be attacked tonight, and then the Xuanfu will inevitably fall into a heavy siege. Luo Xiang looked at Zhu Houzhao and said.

"This, this, good, good Zhu Zhifan, you have a kind!"

Hearing Luo Xiang's words, Zhu Houzhao finally became nervous, and then he gritted his teeth and scolded, and then walked around a little anxiously, obviously thinking about countermeasures to deal with the Tatar army.

"Luo Xiang, let me ask you, how many people are there in the garrisons of Guguan and Xuanfu now? And how many Tatars are attacking this time? Can we fend them off?! After a while, Zhu Houzhao stopped, looked at Luo Xiang coldly and asked.

"Your Majesty, the garrisons of Guguan and Xuanfu are only 10,000 at the moment, and the Tatar army, the number of troops attacking this time is 50,000, so, according to the slaves, we, our only choice at the moment is to stick to the pass city and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Datong Mansion. It's just that when the time comes, if Yang Yiqing leads the army to support, King Anhua will inevitably launch a sneak attack on him from behind, in that case, I am afraid that Yang Yiqing will also be defeated. So, then, if that happens, your majesty, we, we're in danger. ”

Luo Xiang looked at Zhu Houzhao, and said unconsciously in frustration, at this time, in his opinion, there was already a dead end in front of him, and there was no way to solve it at all.
