Hong Chengchou commanded the orderly retreat of the Ming army, and what he was most worried about was that in the process of retreating, the Jianlu cavalry suddenly appeared, which was the easiest way for the army to lose control and collapse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fortunately, he couldn't see the Jingshi city wall anymore and still didn't see any changes in Jianyu, so he was a little relieved. The army camped for a short rest, and at the same time, it was fully released at night, stretching out into the distance like tentacles to warn, and then he had time to care about Sun Chengzong's situation.

The drastic change in the situation made Hong Chengchou really unexpect it before he came to Beijing. However, this situation is not necessarily a bad thing for him. Although there was no holy decree, but only the dictation of Emperor Chongzhen. But this is hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes in front of the two armies, and there is still the body of Emperor Chongzhen in his hands, and there is the leadership of Sun Chengzong, the elder of the four dynasties with high prestige, and the future work of the dragon will definitely be no problem.

The Tang King was imprisoned in Fengyang, but suddenly became the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and he must be grateful to Dade, and his future glory and wealth will be guaranteed.

Hong Chengchou thought so, and there was a little smug in his heart. But when he went to Sun Chengzong's place, he became nervous again.

Sun Chengzong is very old, and his movements are not very sharp. It's a civilian official again, and he only wears one layer of protective armor. When he was evacuating the city wall, he fell off his horse and was crushed, and he suffered a serious arrow wound in his back. When Hong Chengchou arrived, he had already fallen into a coma.

And the fierce general Zu Dashou snatched back the body of Emperor Chongzhen, although there were many arrows in his body, but because he was a general, he wore multiple layers of armor, and he was in the prime of life, but there was no big problem. It's just that his whole body is bandaged, and he can't lead the army to fight for the time being.

Most of the high-ranking generals surrounded Sun Chengzong, after all, he was the oldest person in this army, with the highest prestige and the greatest official position, and he was the backbone of this army. They all hoped that he would wake up and take them with them in this complicated situation.

When Hong Chengchou arrived, the surrounding generals got out of the way and let him go directly to Sun Chengzong's side.

Under the gaze of the generals, Hong Chengchou called out to Sun Chengzong softly with red eyes and sadness: "Ge Lao, I am Heng Jiu, Ge Lao ......"

Maybe his name really worked, Sun Chengzong, who was in a coma, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound. When the surrounding generals saw it, they immediately became excited.

It took Sun Chengzong for a while to see the crowd in front of him clearly, he suddenly became emotional, and struggled to sit up from the marching bed, but he pulled the wound for a while but fell back in pain. When Hong Chengchou saw it, he hurriedly helped him so that he could lie comfortably on the marching bed.

"Your Majesty...... What about Your Majesty's dragon body? As soon as Sun Chengzong spoke, he asked with an anxious expression. I wanted to sit up just now, but I also wanted to see if there was the body of Emperor Chongzhen around.

Zu Dashou was also by his side, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Governor, Your Majesty's dragon body is protected in the army, it's okay!" ”

Hearing this, seeing that Zu Dashou's voice was loud, although he was wearing a bandage, it was no big deal, Sun Chengzong was obviously relieved.

However, he immediately became emotional again, and asked angrily, "What about Gao Qiqian?" Did you cut him with a thousand knives? ”

There was silence, and no one answered. The situation changed so quickly that no one noticed the high dive.

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou opened his mouth and replied: "Don't worry, Elder Ge, I will send an order to ask about the situation when I turn around, and see if Gao Qiqian has escaped." Such eunuchs who sell their lords for glory will surely cut him with a thousand knives! ”

Sun Chengzong's gaze followed Hong Chengchou's words to his face, and after listening to his words, he nodded slightly, as if his strength had run out again, and lay there to rest.

But soon, Sun Chengzong got up again, grabbed Hong Chengchou's hand and said: "Heng Jiu came in time, otherwise with the Funing Army alone, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to grab His Majesty's dragon body, but the whole army will be wiped out outside the capital city." ”

Without waiting for Hong Chengchou to answer, Sun Chengzong had already continued: "The Jingshi is occupied by Jianyu, and the north is afraid that it will fall. The Ming Dynasty has reached the critical point of life and death, and if you are not careful, the Central Plains will fall into felt. ”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty temporarily designated the King of Tang to inherit the unification, otherwise the south would be in chaos, and before the Jianyu army arrived, they would each support the prince and kill each other. In this way, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be powerless to resist the Jianyu soldiers! ”

Speaking of this, he grabbed Hong Chengchou's hand harder, his face was grim, and he said in a firm tone: "Heng Jiu doesn't need to care about the north anymore, lead the army south and go straight to Fengyang, and support King Tang to go to Ying Tianfu to ascend the throne." Help the new emperor rectify internal affairs and try to regain lost territory. ”

"Elder Ge, you are still leading the ......" Hong Chengchou didn't speak politely, but he felt that Sun Chengzong's grip on his hand suddenly loosened, and the whole person lay on the marching bed weakly again.

Just now, most people felt that Sun Chengzong was actually returning to the light. Seeing his situation at this time, I couldn't help but cry out sadly.

After a while, Sun Chengzong seemed to have accumulated a little more strength, and spoke again, but he seemed a little weak: "Jianyu is not terrible, as long as the new emperor works hard, there will be a day in the Central Plains of Beiding!" ”

Speaking of this, his face showed a strong look of regret, mixed with grief and indignation, and said intermittently: "Expel...... Tartars, reclaim ...... Mountains and rivers, in front of the grave...... Tell...... ......"

Before the words were finished and the eyes were not closed, a generation of famous ministers passed away with endless regrets.

"Supervisor ......"

"Pavilion ......"

“……”

Amidst the shouts of trying to recall the heroic spirit, Sun Chengzong lay quietly on the marching bed, never moving again, and could no longer worry about Da Ming!

After a while, Hong Chengchou was the first to come back to his senses. He immediately made a decision and did not mourn the secret of Sun Chengzong's death, and the whole army immediately moved south.

When it was dark, he did not collect a report at night, saying that there were about 3,000 horsemen who followed the army south, but more than 10,000 horsemen went to the northeast of the Beijing Division, without carrying supplies, and seemed to be in a hurry.

There is a tail line of Jianyu, this is not unexpected. Hong Chengchou was curious, what was the Jianyu army going to the northeast doing?

No matter how powerful he is, he can't guess Jianyu's true intentions. But he doesn't care, anyway, it's the opposite of the army going south, so don't worry about coming for him. And judging from the arrangement of the captives, it seems that they will let their own leaders leave.

Hong Chengchou couldn't understand why Huang Taiji did this, he didn't care, and led the army south straight to Fengyang.

Along the way, when there was no grain and grass, they directly asked the local government for it, and if they didn't give it or didn't give much, they just grabbed it.

In his opinion, sooner or later, this north will be occupied by Jianyu, and it is better to do it yourself than to cheapen Jianlu, as long as you ensure that your army does not collapse and can reach Fengyang safely.

As a result, this road has caused riots along the way, and many thieves have come out, and the Central Plains has become more watery and fiery. (To be continued.) )
