As soon as he entered the Lianghu area, Chongzhen was instigated by a group of ministers to enter the county seat he passed along the way.

Of course, in addition to the instigation of the minister, Chongzhen also has his own reasons......

As the emperor, the court has no silver, and there is no problem in ensuring the brocade and food of the royal family.

And what about the present? Because he was afraid that the Haw Par Army would find out that he had left Nanjing City, he had been on the road for several days, and everyone, including himself, was sleeping in the open air. As for the most common food and clothing, it has been replaced by dry food that is difficult for them to eat.

After a few days, not only Emperor Chongzhen was about to be driven crazy by this kind of day of eating and sleeping in the open, but the ministers who went out of the city with Emperor Chongzhen, the imperial concubine and the prince of the harem...... I'm also going crazy.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Chongzhen, who thought that he had asked for danger, and there would be no Tiger and Leopard Army around, would certainly not continue to sleep in the open air that was about to be mad with love.

It is a purpose to go into the county towns that you pass along the way and have a hot meal.

In addition, at the instigation of a group of ministers, Chongzhen also did two other things......

One of them was to take with him all the money he had in the state treasury along the way. After all, after entering the southwest, no matter what you do, you can't leave the silver.

As for the other thing, it is to increase the number of troops guarding itself.

Although he lost to the Haw Par Army, he is the emperor after all. In order not to attract the attention of the Haw Par Army, when he left Nanjing City, Chongzhen only brought the most elite five hundred guards in the palace.

If these guards only protect themselves, it will definitely be enough.

However, he is not alone in his protection. Including all ministers of civil and military affairs. The queen concubine and the prince are included. There were hundreds of them.

There were only 500 guards, and when they were dispersed among the hundreds, the defense force was very weak.

Therefore, for the safety of himself and the royal family, and also to increase the strength of the Tiger and Par Army to counterattack the Tiger and Leopard Army in the future after entering the southwest.

Every time Chongzhen left a state capital, he would take all the garrisons and equipment of that state capital with him.

As a result, Chongzhen and his entourage had just gone two hundred miles deep into the Two Lakes area. The number of guards increased from 500 to 5,000.

Not only that, but because of the increasing amount of money and grain and grass along the way, the number of carts has also increased by hundreds.

As Chongzhen continued to advance to the southwest, the number of guards and carts was still increasing.

The team is huge, although Chongzhen and the ministers are more and more at ease because of this.

However, his speed has been invisibly reduced to two-thirds of the original.

What's more, such a large team, no matter where it goes. will catch everyone's attention.

Chongzhen's action of self-destruction, of course, could not escape the meticulous work of the internal guards of the Tiger and Leopard Army distributed along the way.

Under the offensive of silver. The thousands of guards around Chongzhen, who had become mixed, didn't even hesitate to sell Emperor Chongzhen, who he was protecting.

As a result, the news that Emperor Chongzhen had left Nanjing City for hundreds of miles and was heading to the southwest was sent to Wei Zheng as soon as possible.

After reading the information sent by the internal guard, Wei Zheng's first reaction was shock, he didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would give himself such a means as a golden cicada shell, and play himself and the more than 100,000 tiger and leopard troops under his command.

Of course, this shock didn't last long, and a sneer immediately appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

After taking a deep breath, he looked at Sun Chengzong beside him, and said with a mocking face: "Chief of Staff, this Chongzhen, just run, and he is so arrogant along the way, isn't this self-defeating?" ”

"Since he wants to bring about his own destruction, then don't blame this king for being unkind to him!"

Seeing the murderous aura that slowly dyed out of Wei Zheng's body, Sun Chengzong knew that Wei Zheng had already killed Chongzhen.

Because, Chongzhen's hand of the golden cicada came out of its shell, like a loud slap directly on Wei Zheng's face.

As the future emperor, if Chongzhen does not respond and teach Chongzhen a lesson, Wei Zheng's prestige will definitely be greatly hit by this.

Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong subconsciously sighed at Chongzhen's not so good future and ending. Asked Wei Zheng directly......

"Lord Wang, what are you going to do......."

Chongzhen decided without thinking about it: "Although Wang Feng's first army has suffered heavy losses, it can still do it with three thousand cavalry and two horses......

According to the news from the internal guards, although the number of troops around Chongzhen has expanded to 5,000, it is still increasing. However, among these people, the real combat effectiveness is the five hundred palace guards that Chongzhen brought out from Nanjing City. As for the rest, they are the garrisons of various state capitals. It's okay to deal with local bandits, but when you really get to the battlefield, it's already a blessing in misfortune if you don't collapse directly......"

"So, there is no problem with using three thousand cavalry elites to deal with them......."

"Also, Chongzhen's current marching speed is very slow, with the speed of cavalry, day and night, he will definitely be able to catch up with Chongzhen before he leaves the two lakes......"

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's face was already shrouded in seriousness, and he decisively ordered: "Order Wang Feng, assemble the cavalry division, and immediately pursue Chongzhen, and must destroy their ...... before Chongzhen leaves the two lakes...... "Give Luo Yangxing also an order, and launch Chongzhen's internal guards who pass through all the state capitals along the way, no matter what method is used, to slow down their rush as much as possible Tell Luo Yangxing that Chongzhen has brought a large number of baggage cars, and he can only take the official road, as long as the official road is destroyed, Chongzhen's speed can be reduced to a minimum......"

For Wei Zheng, Chongzhen Golden Cicada's departure from Nanjing City can only be said to be out of his own accident. Even if it is more serious, it was Chongzhen who indirectly slapped Wei Zheng.

However, for Wang Feng, what Chongzhen did was a living slap in the face.

Because, Wang Feng's mission to go deep into the south of the Yangtze River alone was to trap Chongzhen to death in Nanjing.

As a result, Chongzhen Golden Cicada has been out of its shell and left Nanjing City for several days, and he is still in the dark.

If it weren't for the intelligence of the internal guard, it is likely that he would not know this fact until the battle was over.

Therefore, at this time, the anger in Wang Feng's heart was greater than anyone else's.

In the military order of Wei Zheng, although it was only required to send 3,000 cavalry to pursue Chongzhen. However, in order to avoid accidents, on the basis of 3,000 cavalry, Wang Feng directly transferred 1,000 elites from the guard regiment to join the pursuit force, which shows Wang Feng's importance and hatred for Chongzhen......

The main force of the First Army surrounded the city of Nanjing, and a musketeer division went to the Yangtze River defense line to cooperate with the troops crossing the river, and when the breakthrough was opened, 4,000 cavalry, one man and two horses, slaughtered the Lianghu area......
