"Brother Xiaochao, I won't take you this time, the Wild Wolf Valley needs you to guard it, Tang Xiao will come with me this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Guo Xiaochao was silent for a long time and asked, "How many people do you bring?" ”

"One hundred and fifty!"

"Too few, three hundred!" Guo Xiaochao slowly raised his head and looked directly at Meng Yandao, "There are five women in your family, and there are children, you must come back alive." ”

"Okay, three hundred is three hundred." Meng Yan nodded, an army of 200,000 people, 300 people can be drowned in the sea of people at any time.

What if it's taboo once?

Are you still afraid of the jealousy of others today?

Wang Zhen personally mobilized a total of 170,000 people from the Shenji Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion, and the 3,000 Battalion for the emperor's personal conquest, plus 30,000 troops from some places in Hebei, totaling 200,000 horses.

These 200,000 people were not given a tael of silver, a pair of fat jackets and trousers, two pairs of shoes, a month's worth of fried rice, and the three of them were equipped with a donkey.

The army only prepared for five days, and then swore to go on the march.

This road is like a parade, the fathers and nobles have a rare opportunity to accompany the emperor on a trip, when they go out, in addition to bringing private soldiers, there are a large number of items, luxury tents, all kinds of utensils and so on.

Even the news of the defeat of Yanghemen did not affect the mood of these people.

Meng Yan was also in the team, he took Tang Xiao and the others to walk behind Luan, and he was the most silent in the entire army.

Before leaving the Desheng Gate, Cao Nai received an urgent military report from Datong, and was about to go to see the emperor, but was stopped by Wang Zhen.

The news of Yanghe's defeat was suppressed by Wang Zhen, and the emperor did not know about it at all.

Wang Zhen was afraid that the emperor would know the news, and then he would be moved by these ministers, shake his faith, and go back to the city directly. Then his plan would have failed.

Cao Nai couldn't see the emperor, so he went to consult with other ministers with the army, and everyone tested Wang Zhen together during the break.

But Wang Zhen ignored it and ordered the forbidden army to blast everyone out directly.

On the 17th, the army was stationed in Longhutai, and a strong wind suddenly blew during the night. There were even strange screams in the barracks.

The 200,000 army suddenly became a mess, and some people thought that it was the Wara army attacking, and after the situation stabilized, they found that it was actually some soldiers who were drinking in the army, drunk and drunk, and saw that the banner was blown by the strong wind, thinking that the Wara army was attacking, shouting, and as a result. Causing a whole camp uproar.

Of course, Meng Yan knew that it was impossible for the Wara army to appear here, but once these ten or two hundred thousand people bombed the camp, it would be a terrifying thing.

Even if he was asked to command the three armies, there was no good way, so he could only try his best to keep his headquarters and some surrounding camps from being disturbed.

Because of his proximity to the forbidden army Luan, Meng Yan took decisive measures, and the emperor did not receive any interference.

But. At the beginning of the expedition, news of the defeat at the front was received. Coupled with the unquiet along the way, many people feel that this is not a good sign.

Meng Yan knew what history would be, and he couldn't help but sigh, he didn't know what would happen.

On the 19th, the army passed through the Juyong Pass.

Camping at night, Meng Yan chatted with Tang Xiao, Cai Jin and others in the tent. Suddenly, Wang Heng entered the account and told Cao Nai, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Yang Shan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him.

The two of them wore black robes and did not bring guards, obviously not wanting outsiders to know that they had come to see Meng Yan.

Meng Yan was surprised, he had no contact with Cao Nai in private. The sudden visit, which was obviously a bit unusual.

After hearing the intentions of Cao Nai and Yang Shan, Meng Yan was startled, these civil officials were really too bold, and they actually secretly plotted to assassinate Wang Zhen.

As long as Wang Zhen is killed, the emperor will naturally return to Beijing.

"Lord Cao, Lord Yang, who have you told about this?" Meng Yan felt a chill down his spine, he knew that they were here for this, so he had to find an excuse to refuse anyway.

It's good to know about such a confidential matter now.

"Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, and Wang Zuo, the secretary of the household department, know it." Cao Nai also knew that this matter was too secret, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"If you want me to say, this matter must not be done, now the army's heart is unstable, if Wang Zhen is assassinated, the consequences are unimaginable, he is now commanding the three armies on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and it can be said that he is the actual commander of the three armies."

"After killing Wang Zhen, we can nominate the British Duke as the commander of the army!"

"Then where do you put the Holy One?" Meng Yan asked as he swept the two of them with cold eyes.

"This ......"

"Things are not as bad as the two adults think, when the army arrives at Xuanfu, you can unite to play the Holy Lord, and the army will rest in Xuanfu for three days."

"What Master Meng said is reasonable, then this matter will be stopped." Cao Nai sighed and assassinated Wang Zhen, they were literati with pens and poles to take it for granted, so they came to Meng Yan, in the entire army.

The only person they can trust is Meng Yan, and if they want to do this, only Meng Yan can do it.

However, they didn't expect Meng Yan to refuse, and the reasons given made them unable to refute.

"Don't worry, Lord Cao, with me, I will protect the safety of the saint." Meng Yan Road.

"With Lord Meng's words, this official will be relieved!" Cao Nai can't stay long, if someone finds out, go to Wang Zhen to tell the truth, this is a very troublesome thing.

"Lord Cao, please!"

"Don't send it!"

"Lord Cao will go first, and the lower officials still have something to tell Lord Meng." Yang Shan did not leave with Cao Nai, but stayed.

"Lord Yang?"

"Master Meng, don't get me wrong, there is a letter of trust for me to give to Lord Meng." Yang Shan slowly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Meng Yan.

"Does Master Hu have any instructions?" Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, what did Hu Hu not say earlier, what kind of mystery was he doing?

"This subordinate doesn't know, Master Meng will naturally understand after reading the letter." Yang Shan smiled slightly, "The next official retires!" ”

Meng Yan opened the letter in his hand, took out the letterhead, glanced at it slightly, his face changed greatly, and after reading the content of the letter, he did not hesitate, and quickly threw the letterhead into the brazier.

In an instant, the fire engulfed the letterhead.

"My lord, it's a quarrel, it's a quarrel......"

"What's the quarrel?"

"Wang Zhen and Kuang Ye, and Wang Zuo. The three of them quarreled. Don laughed.

"Why?"

"Kuang Ye and Wang Zuo asked Luan to drive back to Beijing and let Wang Zhen scold, so they quarreled." Don laughed.

"That's it, it's not a big deal, these literati like to be willful, just accept the lesson."

"Wang Zhenxin is ruthless. I don't know if I will be ruthless in the future? Cai Jin said.

"Well, you have to pay attention, although I also annoy these people, but they are indeed the pillars of the imperial court, indispensable, tell me to go down, pay more attention!" Meng Yan nodded.

"My lord, this time I am on the march. Wang Zhen seems to be polite to us, a little bit wrong? ”

"Well, there must be demons if there is an abnormality, and I'm worried about this too." Meng Yan nodded, and this matter was also mentioned in Hu Hui's handwritten letter that was burned just now.

This time, the emperor personally conquered, it was not so simple.

On the 20th, the sixty-five-year-old soldier Shangshu stepped on a stone due to the horse's hooves while on the march. I almost fell to my death.

Although it was just an accident, it was an accident. Let a lot of people be more careful.

On the 23rd, the army entered the Xuanfu and set up camp, and the Xuanfu Governor Yu Tingyi and the general Guo Nu led the generals of the Xuanfu to personally go out of the city to welcome the emperor Luan.

That night, Emperor Luan drove to the Xuanda Governor's Palace.

At night, heavy rain poured in, and everyone's mood fell to a low point.

Cao Nai and other important ministers took the opportunity to speak to the emperor while having dinner. I hope that I can rest in Xuanfu for three days before leaving.

The emperor wanted to agree, but Wang Zhen refused in public on the grounds that the military situation was urgent and urgent.

It was very unpleasant, Meng Yan sighed. He spoke lightly, not to mention that so many important ministers were reprimanded by Wang Zhen, and he was a small commander of the Jinyi guard, but he only played the role of a guard, and he was not qualified to speak.

As soon as the rain stopped the next day, the army continued to move forward under Wang Zhen's orders.

At night, Meng Yan and Guo Nuweng's son-in-law reunited, and after saying the words of the middle of the night, they left, and the next day, Meng Yan led his subordinates to continue on the road.

The army crossed the Jiming Mountain, and went west for another day, and on the 25th, they encountered a Varat cavalry, about 3,000 men.

Wang Zhen ordered Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to lead his troops to battle, and the result was very surprising, and the 5,000 Ming army was actually killed and defeated.

Finally, the emperor ordered the musket battalion to be dispatched, and under the sharp firearms, the Warat cavalry was defeated and fled.

A victory made the monarch and the ministers happy, swept away the haze of the past few days, and sang all the way to continue to move forward.

Three days later, the army marched to the mouth of the sun.

Seeing the corpses all over the mountains, most of them were from the Ming army, and the corpses were in the wilderness, the emperor cried three times and ordered the corpses to be buried.

On August 1, the army arrived in Datong, and the governor of Datong, Xining Marquis Song Ying, the general soldier Zhu Mian and other generals took the blame!

In the battle of Yanghekou, the Datong border army was considered a tragedy, and the Datong avant-garde and rearguard were almost disabled, and the reconstruction was far away.

The emperor encouraged the generals of Datong to restore their confidence and fight the Warat cavalry again.

He also led 30,000 Wala iron cavalry to advance to the city of Datong, and the army was so prosperous that many of the courtiers who accompanied the army did not dare to stand on the city wall.

The dramatic result came when the emperor, at the suggestion of Wang Zhen, prepared to return without firing a single shot.

When Meng Yan received this order, he was also stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.

What is this Wang Zhen, the old Wang Ba, doing, the 200,000 army went out of the fortress, and finally saw the enemy, but he didn't do anything and went back like this, isn't this a waste of money for the people?

What kind of reshaping of the ancestors' majesty is this, it's almost a shame.

The civil officials are happy, the emperor is finally willing to go back, this toss, recognize this fact, that is also a good thing, at least there will be no next time!

The border generals of Datong are also relieved, the emperor is in Datong, if there is a problem with safety, then their heads will be moved, just after a defeat, the demoralized Datong border army is afraid of another accident.

Therefore, the emperor should go a little earlier!

So, the 200,000 army stayed in Datong for a day, and then they were about to roll back, and the news reached the ears of the other side, and it was completely unbelievable.

I didn't know what the Ming army wanted, so I led 30,000 cavalry to follow behind, and at the same time ordered the Arazhiyuan to break through from the border of Xuanfu!

The Dushikou and horse camps were broken one after another, and 20,000 elite Warat iron horsemen poured down.

The 200,000 army moved slowly, and Wang Zhen ordered Gongshun Hou Wu Kezhong to lead the army to fight first, but he was defeated and died in battle!

The emperor again ordered the British Duke Zhu Yong to lead the army to meet the battle, and Zhu Yong asked the firearms battalion to accompany him to fight, but Wang Zhen refused.

Wang Zhen, who has seen the power of the firearms battalion, regards the firearms battalion as his life-saving unit, and he is not touched by people at all.

As a result, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was also killed first in Harrier Ridge, and Zhu Yong and Yongshun Boxue Shou were both killed.

Meng Yan really wanted to fight, but he only had three hundred people, and he was powerless to change the situation of the battle, not to mention that Wang Zhen stared at him like a thief, even if he desperately asked for battle, he was also rejected by Wang Zhen.

The city of Huailai was lost.

More than 100,000 Ming troops finally came to the place of its historical destiny.

Civil Fort!

The only source of water was cut off, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were trapped in a small civil fort, while the other side had less than 50,000 people.

"Lord Meng, you are unparalleled in martial arts, early tomorrow morning, the old man will guard the Shengshang to break through, and you will be extremely dragged down by the Warat people behind the palace!"

"How many do you give me?" Meng Yan didn't hesitate, at least Wang Zhen seemed to have made the right decision at the moment!

"Three thousand, I can only give you three thousand, and the commander will make Guo Mao obey your command!" Wang Zhendao.

"Okay, three thousand is three thousand!" Meng Yan gritted his teeth, a large number of people is not necessarily good, three thousand people plus his own guards, it is not difficult to complete the task of the palace.

"It's just, how long do we need to hold on?" Meng Yan asked, "After completing the mission, where should we go to fight the army?" ”

"The army moves slowly, you can delay as long as you want, and the safety of the saint can be pinned on Lord Meng."

Meng Yan knew that Wang Zhenliu was obviously uneasy and kind, if he died under the front of the first soldiers, he would also be an enemy.

But at this moment, he really couldn't refuse, otherwise Wang Zhen would have an excuse to order him to be taken down immediately, and then directly pushed out and beheaded.

"My lord, Wang Zhen clearly wants us to die!"

"I know this, but we can't disobey the order, he is now the commander of the three armies!" Meng Yan Road.

"But, my lord, ......"

"Don't say it, go down and prepare!"

A bloody battle was inevitable.

Wang Zhen is in the tent.

"I didn't expect this kid surnamed Meng to have no resistance along the way, and this time I finally found a chance to get rid of this henchman!"

"Wang Weng's move, in the name of righteousness, this kid can't refuse at all, as long as he opens his mouth to disobey, he can be taken down and punished immediately, it's a pity!" The person who spoke was Sun Jizong.

This time, he was also among the nobles who went on patrol with the army.

"The queen mother wants him to die, how can the old man want him to live?" Wang Zhen smiled, didn't he know that all this was planned by the old man. Wang Zhen laughed proudly.

"Will you do what we planned?"

"As long as he kills the kid surnamed Meng, it is easy to say that the tribute and the border market are all easy to say, and the old man still has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he is not afraid of him at all!" Wang Zhen was not ashamed.

"This person is also very ambitious, so he must be guarded against."

"Don't worry, how can the old man not make arrangements, the old man has already sent someone to order Yang Hong, the deputy chief soldier of the Xuanfu, that he will personally command 20,000 troops to come, and it is expected to arrive soon." Wang Zhendao.

"Wang Weng has been prepared, then I will rest assured." (To be continued.) )
