Chapter 277: Rumors
As soon as it was dark, Tong Hang and his party rushed to the east city of Shunshengchuan day and night.
Seeing an army in black clothes and red jackets coming outside the city, the magistrate of the eastern city of Shunshengchuan had already moved the people outside the city into the city, and the four gates were closed, and even the suspension bridge had been pulled up.
When Tong Hang and Jin Liang led their soldiers and horses to a stone's throw outside the city, the city was already in full battle. In addition to the few guards guarding the city, even the officials of the county government and the young and strong people went up to the city wall with sticks, staring at themselves and others outside the city.
"Instructor, wait for your subordinates to scold that dog-eyed county order who doesn't know Taishan!" Hao Tianyang choked, pulled out his saber, and bowed to Tong Hang.
Tong Hang shook his head and said, "This county magistrate is doing the right thing!" It's a qualified prefectural magistrate! In the absence of the identity of the opposing army, it is the best thing to do to close the city gates and wait for them! ”
Hao Tianyang couldn't help but be stunned, is this okay?
Jin Liang nodded, bowed down and asked, "Instructor, what should we do next?" To go or to stay? ”
"What's going on?" Tong Hang did not say whether to leave or stay, but asked about the situation behind.
When Jin Liang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then I also saw that we did not enter Datong, leaving only a commander and some slaves of the rear army to besiege Datong, and the Chinese army chased after us, and now it is only forty miles away from our army." ”
Tong Hang nodded and said with a smile: "I am also obedient first." Good! Since he was in hot pursuit, we also fled quickly without stopping! Walk! Cross the deep well fort to Baoan State! ”
Jin Liang hesitated for a moment, plucked up his courage and said, "The instructor still wants to lead him to the civil fort first?" ”
Tong Hang nodded, without words. Timas turned and ran back.
When Hao Tianyang saw it, he hurriedly greeted him. All the guards rushed to the horse.
Jin Liang couldn't help but be a little strange, why did the emperor insist on leading him to Tumu Fort first? Seeing that Tong Hang was gone, he hurriedly ordered the signal corps to give an order, urging the Flying Eagle Army to set off and go to Shenjing Fort......
Shi Heng looked at Li Jiuyi, who was sitting on the left hand of Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian, with strange eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he did not look like a person in the court.
"Does General Shi know Li?" Li Jiuyi didn't move his eyes when he saw Shi Heng looking at him. I was also curious, so I asked.
Hearing Li Jiuyi ask like this, Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian was also curious. It is said that the two men could not have known each other. One is a veteran of the border army, and the other is a rookie of the Beijing army. This rookie can be regarded as really new, in the first half of the year, I heard that there was such a person in the Jingshi, and in the second half of the year, there was a war. Led the army to the side. No matter how you look at it. These two should not have seen each other.
Seeing that Li Jiuyi asked, knowing that he was too abrupt, Shi Heng hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said: "Shi has never seen General Li, but he has seen General Li's military might today, and he is a little envious in his heart. Come, come, General Li, Shi respects General Li for a glass. ”
Li Jiuyi saw Shi Heng say this. So he didn't care, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass. said with a smile: "General Shi is also a hero, and Li is also deeply impressed by the accumulation of military merits so far." Okay, Li and General Shi drank this cup full. However, the last general did not dare to drink again, and the army of the thorns was trapped on the outskirts of the city, and the last general had to be careful. ”
Shi Heng hurriedly said: "Make it! Make! That Shi did it first for respect! After speaking, he drank the wine in his glass.
When Li Jiuyi saw it, he was busy drinking the wine in his cup.
"Good!" Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian said happily: "If you don't drink, then eat vegetables, General Li came here to assist Ben Bo by holy order, and Ben Bo was also very happy." Now, General Shi has returned, and Datong will be as stable as Mount Tai. The emperor's plan will definitely succeed! ”
Shi Heng couldn't help but be stunned, the big plan? What's the big plan? I came back yesterday, why didn't Wu Jinbo think about it?
Jiang Shi Heng looked puzzled, and Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian carefully explained to him the arrangements in the holy decree......
In order to catch up with the Southern Barbarian Emperor, he also left the tent outside Datong City and changed to a galloping horse. He hadn't ridden a horse for many years, and this day and night chase also made him unbearable. took advantage of feeding the horses and replenishing water, and first walked with his subordinates on the edge of the official road forest.
Zarba bit the Southern Barbarian Emperor tightly in front and did not let go, and he mentioned that the Chinese army was less than ten miles away from Zarba. With the attack on Borjin Tempo earlier, he didn't dare to go too far from Zarba first. Zhelin led 30,000 horses to besiege Datong and urged grain and grass, there should be no problem. I don't know if that guy has slowed down! Give him some sweetness and let him escort the grain and grass shouldn't be much of a problem!
A scout horse galloped over, and when he saw that he was waiting for someone in the forest by the roadside, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and ran over.
"What?" Seeing that he was contemplating first, there was no movement, and the extension next to him asked hurriedly.
Xining was in the distance, busy listening attentively.
"Report, Zarba Hao handsome report, the Southern Barbarian Emperor did not rest in the eastern city of Shunshengchuan, and went straight to the direction of Baoanzhou."
Seeing that Tanma didn't mean to leave, Tuan Xi hurriedly asked, "What else is going on?" ”
"Hao Shuai doesn't know whether to chase or take down the East City of Shunshengchuan, please show the Taishi."
It's not up to him to decide this matter, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Yexian.
He also raised his head first, with no expression on his face, and asked, "Are you sure that the Southern Barbarian Emperor went to the direction of Baoanzhou?" ”
"Returning to the Taishi, Hao Shuai arranged for a large number of probe horses to be hung behind the Southern Barbarian Emperor. We found out that the Ming army only had more than 5,000 people, and Hao Shuai wanted to wait for them to rest and catch up with the Southern Barbarian Emperor alive. But they are cunning and abnormal, and their firearms are powerful, and Hao Shuai has never been able to succeed. They kept heading straight in the direction of Baoan Zhou. ”
5,000 centaurs? God help me! Ye Xian had a smile on his face and said: "Go back and tell you that the Great Commander, this Taishi will urge the army, you don't have to be considerate of the horsepower, and chase after the Southern Barbarian Emperor at full speed." It's best if you can catch it alive, but if you can't catch it alive, you can cut off your head! Go ahead! ”
When the horse heard this, he turned sharply and ran away, led the horse on the road, flew on his horse, and galloped away.
"Taishi, the Dead Emperor ......", Tuo Xi next to him said hurriedly.
He also raised his hand to stop his words and said, "It's better to be caught alive." They only had 5,000 troops, and although Zarba had 10,000 soldiers, you should not forget that although Borjin Tengbo was not 10,000 at that time, he still had 6,000 or 7,000 men. Once you engage in a battle and want to be captured alive, do you think Izarba's temper can be captured alive? ”
Tuo Xi was stunned for a moment, and thought about it. Zarba dares to fight and rush, he is a tiger on the battlefield, but it is impossible for him to capture the enemy general alive.
Xining, who was in the distance, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Ye Xian's words. Kill the emperor? Is it possible for me to go back? Didn't Wang Zhen say that he would discuss it with him first? Is it good to just have a fight? Why is this trick still happening? Could it be that Wang Zhen wants to be the emperor?
As soon as Zarba received the order, he moved forward bravely, and the five thousand troops of the Southern Barbarian Emperor were bound to flee and lose their armor. We urged the army to follow closely and keep up with Zarba, once he caught up with the Southern Barbarian Emperor, after the engagement, we quickly surrounded the 5,000 troops, and after a short rest, we replaced Zarba's department, stormed the 5,000 tired division, and captured the Southern Barbarian Emperor alive! ”
When Tuo Xi heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master Tai's clever plan!" ”
I also had a good mood and laughed first. Several generals next to him also laughed.
Xining was frightened, she didn't know where her way out was, and she had mixed feelings in her heart, and scolded Wang Zhen to death ten thousand times......
In the city of Beijing, a hurricane blew and rumors spread.
The Queen Mother was in a hurry in Cining Palace. Didn't you say that you escaped from Datong? How can there be such bad news? What kind of news is true?
"Yan'er, isn't General Tian here yet?"
When Nangong Yan heard this, she hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, General Tian hasn't come yet." ”
Before the words fell, I only heard the voice of Tsing Yi outside: "General Tian Xinli asks to see the Queen Mother-"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she said anxiously: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”
Nangong Yan hurriedly instructed Xuantian Xinli to meet outside.
Outside Cining Palace, Tian Xinli, who was dressed in military uniform, heard the call of Tsing Yi Xuanjin, and hurriedly strode towards the gate of Cining Palace...... (To be continued......) u
