But after landing, only no one came to greet them.

This kind of weirdness makes Baili Wuji vigilant, which is too unreasonable.

As the commander of the Black Flag Army, the emperor came in person, and even though Bian Ho was fighting at this time, he couldn't help but come to greet him. At this time, at the place where Bian Ho landed in Laizhou, not a single Ming soldier appeared.

Baili Wuji didn't want to wait, so he quickly asked Baili Kang to send cavalry scouts to land on the shore, sprinkle out in all directions, and reconnoiter to Laizhou City.

An hour later, the scouts came back to report their reports.

The situation obtained by reconnaissance is completely consistent, except for a small number of Liao troops in Laizhou City, there is not a single Ming army soldier around.

Baili Wuji's mind was a little confused at this time, even if the 30,000 army, even if it couldn't capture Dading Mansion, it wouldn't disappear so silently.

In Baili Wuji's heart, the Ming army, which has firearms as a barrier, cannot take the initiative to annihilate the Liao army, but it is not even capable of defense. Even in the face of cavalry of the same strength, the Ming army can also rely on mines and grenades to defend, although there is no pursuit, but there should be no problem in holding on.

Baili Wuji couldn't think of the essentials, and in desperation, he could only order the fleet to sail to Jizhou.

Maybe the neighboring Yanyun will know something about coming to the state.

Early the next morning, Baili Wuji led the fleet to land in Yanyun.

As soon as Yanyun's Ming army saw His Majesty the Emperor in person, they stepped forward to greet him, and hurriedly sent a message to Gubei.

When Chen Yanzheng was prostrating at the feet of Baili Wuji, crying about what happened to the Ming army a few days ago, everyone who heard it burst into tears.

Baili Wuji was full of regret in his heart. With thousands of years of knowledge, he has been preparing for the Northern Expedition for ten years, but he has encountered such a catastrophe. The 40,000 army was completely wiped out, and both of them commanded one to die and one to be seriously injured, such an ending was unacceptable to Baili Wuji.

For a moment, he was angry and bloody, and Baili Wuji spewed out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Bailikang was shocked and hurriedly summoned the military doctor to come.

After counting the breaths. Baili Wuji woke up slowly, looked out of the tent with empty eyes, and said, "General Chen." Have you ever gone to find General Liu's body? ”

Chen Yan's front turned red, and he stepped forward and said: "The last general was afraid of being ambushed again, so he did not order our army to go north, so he failed to welcome back General Liu's body. ”

Baili Wuji nodded indifferently and said, "You're afraid." ”

Chen Yanzheng suddenly fell to the ground. Said: "The minister is incompetent. But the minister didn't dare, but the reinforcements hadn't arrived, and the minister couldn't ignore Yanyun'....... ”

Baili Wuji said angrily: "General Liu died for the Ming Kingdom, tens of thousands of soldiers died for the Ming Kingdom, but I let their bodies be exposed in the wilderness, how can you let me face the subjects of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Baili Wuji began to cry, and said to Chen Yanzheng word by word: "You don't dare to go, I don't blame you." I'll go by myself today. Brilikang. The whole army is on standby, and I will personally lead the army north. Welcome home tens of thousands of my Ming soldiers. ”

Chen Yanzheng knelt down for a few steps and cried: "Your Majesty, you must not, now that the enemy situation is unknown, you will rush to send troops for fear of accidents." If His Majesty's intention to go north has been decided, the minister is willing to lead the army on behalf of His Majesty, and His Majesty is concerned about the safety of the Ming country, so he must not be in danger. ”

Xu Shouren, Bai Li Kang and others saw that Baili Wuji was in a hurry, and they wanted to go to the expedition in person, so they hurriedly stepped forward and knelt beside Chen Yanzheng, Xu Shouren advised: "Your Majesty, Chen Du's command is reasonable, and Your Majesty must not go to danger." ”

Bai Likang also advised: "Your Majesty's ministers seconded the proposal, if you really want to go north, the ministers are willing to go." ”

Seeing that everyone disagreed, Baili Wuji's anger gradually subsided, Baili Wuji took a deep breath, just let the Ming soldiers die again. walked up to Chen Yanzheng, slowly stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I don't blame you." You're doing the right thing, get up. Take me to see General Bian. ”

Chen Yanzheng saw that Baili Wuji's expression was wrong, and he glanced at Bailikang, who nodded slightly.

Chen Yanzheng responded: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Baili Wuji stood in front of Bian Hao's bed, and Bian Hao, who had lost one hand and one arm, was still unconscious, and this tragic image made Baili Wuji finally shed a tear.

The coach was incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, and Baili Wuji scolded himself in his heart.

Iron cavalry, iron cavalry ......, Baili Wuji gritted his teeth and kept repeating these three words, but he couldn't think of a way to restrain it all of a sudden.

After a long time, Baili Wuji said: "Xu Shouren, quickly send a ship, you personally send General Bian back to Jinling, and let Xu Shiming take care of it." ”

Xu Shouren was anxious and said, "The minister should stay by His Majesty's side." ”

Baili Wuji said gloomily: "The Liao army has iron cavalry to rely on, and the Northern Expedition is no longer possible." It is not easy for the Ming army to recover Yanyun because the sky has eyes, but now the only way to defend Yanyun is to find a way to restrain the iron cavalry. ”

As soon as he heard the emperor's words that the Northern Expedition was going to be suspended, Chen Yanzheng was in a hurry, and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Army cannot die in vain, and you can't stop the army." Now that His Majesty's reinforcements have arrived, he is willing to lead an army of 30,000 troops to the north, hoping that His Majesty will approve it. ”

Baili Wuji raised his head to the sky and sighed: "Why don't I want to go on the Northern Expedition, but the sky will not die, why sigh in vain?" I ask you, even if I have allowed you to go north, why do you resist the charge of the Iron Cavalry? ”

Chen Yanzheng was stunned, there was really no way, according to Liu Renzhen's eleventh personal guard's account, unless the grenade exploded directly hit, it basically could not cause damage to the iron cavalry. The only thing that can do damage is the mine, and that is because the mine is explosive, but the mine can only be buried in the soil, and can only be guarded. What if the Iron Cavalry doesn't come?

Seeing that Chen Yanzheng couldn't answer, Baili Wuji patted him lightly and said: "Get up, don't worry, the remains of tens of thousands of soldiers are still in the north, I will not withdraw my troops, and I dare not withdraw my troops, but I will not attack now, and when I come up with a way to restrain the iron cavalry, I will naturally let you take revenge." ”

Chen Yanzheng burst into tears, got up and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Baili Wuji glanced at Xu Shouren and said, "Go, go back and see your father-in-law, and by the way, report peace to Sun Xiang, just say that everything is fine with Yuanzhi, and he also gave birth to a son, so many years, it also makes him happy." ”

Xu Shouren saw that Baili Wuji had made up his mind, so he could only respond and retreat and prepare.

After Xu Shouren left, Chen Yanzheng reported to Baili Wuji about Yanyun's military deployment, and informed Zhang Zangying, the former envoy of Youzhou Yanyan of the Liao State and the history of the defense of the state, who was in charge of the affairs of the Lutai army, Wang Hong, the assassin of Ningzhou, Liu Chuxin, the assassin of Mozhou, and Gao Yanhui, the assassin of Yingzhou, led his troops to return to Shun.

Baili Wuji immediately summoned Zhang Zangying and other cadres, praised them, and moved Zhang Zangying to the governor of Jiangdu, immediately returned south with Xu Shouren, and appointed the rest of them to the corresponding official positions.

Zhang Zangying and the others thanked and retreated.

Baili Wuji asked Chen Yanzheng: "In the sixteen states of Yanyun now, how many war horses can be collected?" ”

Chen Yanzheng replied: "Counting the more than 10,000 horses donated by Zhang Zangying, at least 50,000 war horses can be gathered." (To be continued......)
