Chapter 237: Inside and Outside the Xiongguan Pass (II)
When it was more than ten miles away from Shanhaiguan, Zhu Youcheng sent someone to inform Shanhaiguan in advance, saying that he was back, otherwise in case of misunderstanding, Shanhaiguan would give him a shot, and it would not be wronged. , the latest chapter of the visit wèn:.
He asked the messenger to change into a brocade guard uniform and go to call Guan. The golden helmet and golden armor of the Jinyi Guard are certainly majestic, but they are high-end goods, and no one else knows much about them except for those who have seen the emperor. In case they recognize the Zhenghuang flag of Jiannu, it will be a terrible cake.
The envoy galloped to the wall and shouted: "Jinyiwei has won a great victory on Juehua Island, and now the class teacher is returning to Beijing, passing through Shanhaiguan. Open and close the door, and the team will be there! β
The people on the wall poked their heads out, looked at them a few times, and recognized that this was Jinyiwei's horseman, but they didn't believe that Jinyiwei had the strength to carry Jiannu, thinking that this was Jiannu's trick, and replied: "Dog Jiannu, I already knew that you were liars, and I wanted to deceive Lao Tzu, so let's come back after practicing for a few years." β
The envoy had no choice but to shout: "Tell Lord Gordon to come out to see me, I am Lord Zhu Youcheng Zhu's personal soldier, and Lord Gao has seen me." β
Dengzhi is Gaodi's character, Zhu Youcheng told his soldiers that they must be polite, not to call Gaodi's name, but to call his character.
The soldiers on the city wall laughed and said, "Liar, you have finally revealed your true form." There are many generals with the surname Gao in Shanhaiguan, but none of them are named Gao Dengzhi. High branches, high branches, hum, and high branches. You are as stupid as Jiannu when you take the name of Daming, what is it called a slave. Isn't it a wild boar skin? β
The envoy was embarrassed, the cultural level of the soldier who answered was too low. When he boarded, his waist was 'straightened' straighter, and a sense of intellectual superiority "poofed" up. He replied angrily: "Gao Dengzhi is Gao Di, and Deng Zhi is the word of Gao Di." β
"What is Gordy...... the soldier was still babbling.
A soldier next to him patted him on the head and shouted in a low voice: "Don't 'mess around', Gao Di is the envoy of Jiliao, and our generals are under his control." β
He poked his head out and shouted, "I'll go and tell Lord Gaodi now, and ask you to wait under the castle tower for a while." β
He galloped down. Run to GaudΓ's camp. The station of Jiliao Jingluo is in Jizhou, which is some distance away from Shanhaiguan. However, the war at Shanhaiguan was urgent, and Gao Di was stationed in Shanhaiguan for a long time, so that he could dispatch troops at any time, and borrowed land in Shanhaiguan to work.
Gaudi was sitting in the room sulking. His heart was like a mirror. The generals of Jiliao have no enterprising spirit, they are all passable, and they are dragging time here. After dragging the troops to Jiannu, they went to Juehua Island to take a turn and said that the task was completed. With such soldiers, how can you win the battle against Jiannu? This Ji Liao Jing is really not energetic, if you can save your head this time, you must return to your hometown.
I heard the soldiers outside the 'gate' say that someone outside the gate asked to see him. He couldn't see it, he didn't see it.
"Lord Gao, the name shouted by the people outside the gate is Gao Dengzhi. They say it's your word. β
Gao Di was shocked in his heart, the person who knew his words should be acquaintances. He jumped up, rushed out of the door, and strode towards the wall.
Standing on the wall, Gao Di watched intently. He really knew the person who came, it was Zhu Youcheng's personal soldier. Although I don't know his name, I have met him a few times in the capital. He suddenly came to his senses. Why did the military department go against the norm and urge him to send troops to Juehua Island, it turned out that the younger brother of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was trapped on Juehua Island.
Thinking about this, Gao Di poured his head like ice water, and asked in a trembling voice, "How is Lord Zhu now?" β
"Lord Zhu is very good. We won a great victory on Juehua Island, defeated the main force of the Jiannu attackers, killed the enemy chieftain Nuer Hachi, killed his fifth son Mang Gultai, and killed the Jiannu general Wu Nag, killing the total number of enemies at about 40,000, and beheading about 30,000 people. Now Master Zhu is ten miles away, and he ordered me to come and report. β
The more you listen to Gaodi, the more frightened you become, you think Jiannu is a cabbage, you can eat whatever you want. He naturally came to the conclusion that this soldier might have been captured and renegade, and had come here with the intention of opening the 'gates' of the city.
Gao Di calmed down and said loudly: "The 'gate' of the city cannot be opened for the time being, and when I see Lord Zhu, I will open the big 'gate' to greet me." Rest assured, I will always be waiting on the walls. β
The messenger returned to his horse, and Gao Di commanded in a low voice: "All soldiers are ready, bow and sword." This may be a trick of Jiannu, wanting to earn the 'gate' of the city. β
The messenger relayed Gao Di's words to Zhu Youcheng.
Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "I didn't expect Gao Di to be cautious like this. But that's right, what if you open the 'door' too early and be stolen by other people with ulterior motives? Brothers, speed up the trip and enter Shanhaiguan, we can rest for a while. β
GaudΓ waited anxiously at the wall, hoping that his guess had been wrong. Zhu Youcheng is his biggest help in the capital, if something happens to him, what can he do, and how will he 'mix' in the officialdom in the future. No, Zhu Youcheng is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if something happens to him, he probably won't have to 'mix' in the officialdom, or even in the world.
Soon, he heard a chorus of neat choruses in the distance, from far and near.
The song was melodious, and everyone on the city wall could hear it clearly.
The lyrics are roughly as follows: "The young 'spring' boy is all red, and you are the master." If you want rain and rain, and if you want wind and wind, the fish leaps over the dragon's 'door'. The young 'spring' boy is all red, but he is too hurried. In the golden years, people go to empty buildings, and life is insignificant. Can you wish the day to be auspicious, the night auspicious, willing to use the wealth of the family, buy a sun does not set. β
The singing is getting closer and closer, and you can still hear the sound of silk and bamboo accompaniment. He couldn't help but smile, this is indeed very similar to Zhu Youcheng's style, free and easy with 'sex', eclectic. Others are afraid that they are not solemn enough to govern the army, but he himself claims to be lenient and strict in governing the army, and always sings songs to go to war. But then again, Zhu Youcheng is really good at fighting, he only took 2,000 soldiers to fight that time, and he actually wiped out 50,000 bandits.
But this time he said something that made people unbelievable. 40,000 Jiannu, what is that concept? 40,000 Jiannu can sweep Mobei and Liaodong. A few years ago, 40,000 Jiannu defeated Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, and defeated Guangning, and Xiong Tingbi, the commander of Liaodong, retreated to Shanhaiguan. Could it be that Zhu Youcheng took refuge in Jiannu? He removed the big lie, the purpose was to bring Jiannu into the customs?
He looked far away, and the troops who came to the Shanhai Pass lined up in a long line, and he couldn't see the tail. However, although there are many horses, not every horse has a person. The soldier next to him said: "Lord Gao, this is the usual tactic of the Jiannu expedition, one person with two horses, and the speed is much faster than one person and one horse." β
The soldiers were about to release their arrows, but Gao Di looked at the golden helmets and golden armor of the soldiers under the city, and still had hope in his heart for what happened, and strictly ordered the soldiers not to act rashly.
The front team led by Chen Guoqi was the first to arrive at the foot of Shanhaiguan. He raised his head and shouted: "Lord Gao, I am Chen Guoqi of the Thousand Households of the Fusi of Jinyi Weixi Town, please open the 'door', we will enter Beijing to offer prisoners." β
Gao Di didn't recognize Chen Guoqi and asked, "What about Lord Zhu?" I can only open the 'door' when I see Master Zhu. β
Chen Guoqi had no choice but to order his own soldiers to invite Zhu Youcheng.
Less leaning, Zhu Youcheng urged the horse to arrive. When the soldiers on the wall saw a young man riding a yellow horse galloping, he couldn't help but praise "good" in his heart.
"Master Gao, it's been a long time." The boy said.
Gaudi took a closer look. I saw that the person who came had a young face, red lips and white teeth, it was indeed Zhu Youcheng.
"Lord Zhu, it's been a long time, where are the heads? Didn't Lord Zhu say that he would behead 30,000 people? Where? β
With a gesture of Zhu Youcheng's hand, fifteen carriages drove over behind him and lined up under the city wall.
There was an exclamation on the city wall, and when you looked down from above, the cars were full of human heads. I can't tell you how many, but there are always tens of thousands. At this time, they looked at Zhu Youcheng differently, who is this, it is simply the reincarnation of a killing star.
Gao Di was still not at ease, so he sent people down the city to see if there was a mezzanine in the carriage, and whether the heads in the carriage were Jiannu heads or other heads.
Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but sigh that Gao Di was too cautious. However, real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and the heads of 30,000 Jiannu are piled up here, is he still afraid of inspection?
The soldiers of Shanhaiguan carefully examined the human heads, and then returned to the wall in the hanging basket and told SΓΉ Gaodi: "The carriage is full of human heads, real human heads, and the heads of Jiannu people, and there are money rat tails on them." β
Gao Di is overjoyed, this is the first victory of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong since the First Battle of Sarhu. The other generals couldn't help but be a little disappointed, they knew that Jinyiwei was so capable of fighting, so they wouldn't drag it out and not get out. Although they can't beat Jiannu, it's still okay to fight a good fight. Some generals also wondered whether Zhu Youcheng had killed good people and made meritorious deeds, and secretly observed the head, only to see that the scalp of the head was tanned, which was consistent with the complexion of the face, which proved that it was not newly shaved. That is, now Liaodong is thousands of miles without 'chicken' crowing, thousands of miles without cooking smoke, if you want to kill the good and take the merit, then there must be someone to kill.
Zhu Youcheng saw Gao Di stunned on the city wall, and couldn't help but feel anxious, and said loudly: "Lord Gao, the head has also been checked, so let's go in and take a rest." βq
