After eating the flowing water seat, Zhu Youcheng set off from the camp. β–³Β’Top Novel,

All the grain and grass on Juehua Island have been removed, and the island is empty. The sailors were also leaving, they originally wanted to return to Beijing by land with Jinyiwei, but they didn't have horses, and they were reluctant to go to those sea ships, so they went to Tianjin by water, and by the way, they helped Jinyiwei carry some baggage that was not needed for the time being.

Tianjin is a naval base selected by Zhu Youcheng, which is very close to Beijing and is convenient for dispatch.

Zhu Youcheng handed Wei Gonggong's waist card to Wang Xiaxe and asked him to find the officials in Tianjin to build a military port first.

Seeing the words on the waist card, this guy almost scared out of the heart attack, and hurriedly took it with both hands, secretly glad in his heart that he didn't offend Zhu Youcheng, otherwise it would not be enough to cut off a few heads.

Zhu Youcheng currently has nearly 30,000 heads in his hands, and it has become a troublesome problem to carry them. In fact, it was most convenient to hand over the head to Wang Xiaxe and let him transport it back to Tianjin by sea ship, and then transfer it to Beijing. But Zhu Youcheng rejected the plan.

Daming has no shortage of soldiers, what is lacking is the confidence to dare to fight and win. If these 30,000 heads are shown to them, breaking the myth of Jiannu's invincibility and establishing the confidence of the soldiers, it will not be in vain that Zhu Youcheng will do the brutal thing of beheading people. Zhu Youcheng cut off the head of Jiannu, not only for the reward of ten silver coins per head, but also to boost the morale of the army and the people and vent the anger of the people.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Youcheng ordered the modification of fifteen of the carriages, removed the roof of the carriages, changed the surrounding wall panels into fences, and then threw the pickled heads into the carriages. Piled high. Fortunately, this is a four-wheeled carriage invented by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the capacity is large enough, otherwise it would not have been able to fit so many heads.

With such a carriage swaggering through the city, the people knew that the Ming Dynasty had won another big victory, and the prestige of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was further enhanced, and Xiaoxiao was shocked. The Ming regime was more stable.

In order to increase his speed, Zhu Youcheng gave the Jiannu captives a special treatment and let them ride in a four-wheeled carriage. There were not many captives who captured Jiannu this time, only more than 1,000 people, and Zhu Youcheng forced them into ten carriages. This, of course, was uncomfortable, a carriage crammed into more than a hundred people, and it was a luxury to stand, lying and sitting. However, Zhu Youcheng did not talk about human rights. Preferential treatment of captives? He didn't learn it in his previous life, let alone in this life.

Jin Yiwei brought thirty carriages this time. Fifteen were used to transport the heads, ten more were used to transport the prisoners, and five remained. One of them was a female prisoner of Jianjian, one was a medical guard who could not ride a horse in a thousand households, one was the body of a martyr of the Jinyi Guard, and the other two were loaded with grain and grass.

Jin Yiwei shouted that there were not enough carriages, but fortunately twenty-five two-wheeled carriages were seized from the Medile's house, plus there were forty side carriages on Juehua Island itself. This is the solution to the urgent need.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of February 10, the sixth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, Zhu Youcheng led the Jinyi Guard to cross the ice from Juehua Island. Go straight to Shanhaiguan.

Five thousand brocade guards, fifteen thousand war horses, thirty four-wheeled carriages, twenty-five two-wheeled carriages, and forty side carriages, the movement was very large, how could Ningyuan City, which was close at hand, not hear the movement?

Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou stood on the city wall and heard the sound of the horse's hooves and carriages, guessing that they should be the elite of the Jiannu army. Ordered the whole city of Ningyuan City to be on guard. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the Jiannu soldiers approaching the city, and the sound of horses' hooves became farther and farther away.

Yuan Chonghuan "chuckled" in his heart, and what he was most worried about happened: Jiannu directly attacked Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is the first Xiongguan in the world, and of course Jiannu cannot be attacked. But once Jiannu attacked Shanhaiguan. As the vanguard of Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan City must come out of the nest and cooperate with the soldiers of Shanhaiguan to exterminate Jiannu under Shanhaiguan. This was Sun Chengzong's strategy, and he also nodded.

However, Ningyuan City's combat effectiveness was too weak, and it was still insufficient to defend the city, and there was basically no chance of winning in a field battle with Jiannu. In other words, the moment Shanhaiguan's order reached Ningyuan City was when Yuan Chonghuan was martyred. It's just that the general of the defeated army, even if the horse leather shroud, can't enter the Ming Martyrs' Temple to enjoy the eternal incense.

Zu Dashou saw Yuan Chonghuan's frowns, knowing what he was worried about, and persuaded: "Why should Lord Yuan worry, first, the order of the imperial court is for you to hold Ningyuan City, and second, Jiannu will attack Shanhaiguan, and will definitely encircle and suppress the liaison soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"I know. But I'm afraid that Jiannu is fighting the idea of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and I don't want to attack Shanhaiguan at all, but just make noise under the city. With Gaudi's cowardly character, he will definitely order us to reinforce at any cost. When we leave Ningyuan's fortified city, Jiannu will definitely eat our reinforcements, and then turn back to attack Ningyuan City, and then the jade will be burned. ”

Zu Dashou said gloomily: "Jiannu has a strong army, and it is very easy to capture a small liaison soldier. How do you know that there will be fish that will slip through the net? ”

Yuan Chonghuan suddenly realized and said: "Yes, the imperial court has supported us, and we must listen to the dispatch of the imperial court." But if we didn't receive an order from the imperial court, we would stick to Ningyuan City and hold the land outside the pass for the imperial court. ”

The two looked at each other with a big pen, and the North Korean envoy heard the sound of horses' hooves, so panicked that he went upstairs to watch, and saw Yuan Zu and the two smiling so happily, and couldn't help but take out a piece of paper and write it down: Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou talked and laughed freely when they were under the pressure of Jiannu's strong army, and they had the demeanor of a general.

Besides, on Gaodi's side, when Jiannu besieged Ningyuan City on the 23rd day of the first month of the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, he got a letter and urgently reported to the Ministry of War for 800 miles, and the Ministry of War asked him to reinforce Juehua Island with all his might. Gao Di panicked, this plan is completely different from the original one, and now he has given up a qiΔ“ castle outside the pass, and suddenly reinforces Juehua Island, isn't this sending troops to Jiannu to eat?

Gao Di was worried that this was a trick by Jiannu, so he re-dispatched two groups of men and horses, and once again rushed to report to the military headquarters for 800 miles. Two days later, he received two orders from the Ministry of War, one was more severe than the other, asking Gao Di to reinforce Juehua Island at any cost, and said that if something happened to Juehua Island, let him go to the capital to restore his life.

Gao Di knew that this was an order from the imperial court, so he didn't dare to shirk it, so he had no choice but to dispatch troops to prepare to rescue Juehua Island.

However, when the generals of Shanhaiguan heard that they were going to Juehua Island to fight hard with Jiannu, their faces turned white with fright, and they all found various reasons to ask for leave, such as work leave, official leave, family leave, and menstrual leave-routine vacation. Gao Di held a meeting with the generals for two consecutive days, but the generals insisted on not sending troops.

Later, a young general finally had a little courage and led 3,000 people out of the customs. I don't know where they went, but they came back after hanging outside the gate for seven or eight days, saying that the map was expired and they couldn't find the location of Juehua Island.

Gao Di's nose was crooked, no matter how expired the map was, the location of Juehua Island would not change. It seems that this time his head is lost.

He was furious and said, "This time I'm finished, Juehua Island must be lost." Okay, I can't live, and you don't want to live. When I go to the capital to hand over, I will also bring your heads with me and ask the emperor for guilt. ”

An honest person like Gao Di was furious, and the generals knew that this time they would inevitably have to go out of the customs. They had to say that there was no castle of the Ming army outside the pass, and they had to prepare at least half a month's worth of food and grass. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

This preparation of grain and grass was delayed for another seven or eight days, and on the 13th day of February in the sixth year of the Great Tomorrow, the generals finally agreed to leave the customs. But before the generals could walk out of the gate, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, like a muffled thunder. The generals were bluffed, and the slaves were coming!

Gao Di sat down in his chair and said in his heart, this time it's over. Jiannu must have obtained the grain and grass of Juehua Island, and now the soldiers are strong and strong, and they want to attack Shanhaiguan.

Lamenting for a long time, he slapped the table and secretly resolved that he would always leave a little reputation in life. The past cannot be traced, but the future can still be done. Juehua Island is lost, but Shanhaiguan must be guarded. After that, the emperor wanted to kill or stay, and let him go, but when later generations mentioned Gaodi, he would definitely praise him for guarding the country.

The person who came was naturally not Jiannu, but Zhu Youcheng.

Zhu Youcheng stayed overnight, and finally drove more than 200 miles in three days and came to Shanhaiguan.
