"The emperor wants to see me?" In the big tent, looking at the messenger in front of him, Liu Ruyi's brows couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, yes! General, the emperor said that he has not seen you for many days, and he misses you very much, although it is late tonight, the emperor still wants to see you! The messenger hurriedly kowtowed to Liu Ruyi and said respectfully.

"Huh!" Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, but the expression on his face turned cold.

At this time, all the generals also understood the meaning of the messenger, and they couldn't help but be silent, and looked carefully in the direction of Liu Ruyi.

At this point, although the generals came to enter the king of Beijing, in fact, the relationship between the generals and the imperial court has long been no longer as close as a few years ago.

To put it more bluntly, in the fourteen years since entering Chongzhen, almost without exception, all the generals have expanded their armies, but there are very few who have really reported to the imperial court.

The imperial court's control over the generals present has long been much worse than before.

In the world, who doesn't have a few pieces of shit under their ass?

Liu Ruyi, as the Shangzhu State and the general of the hussars, has faintly become the head of the generals, at this time, since Emperor Chongzhen threw out this secret that everyone knows, the generals can't help but wait for Liu Ruyi's response.

Liu Ruyi's heart was also a little turbulent at this time.

Which one is Emperor Chongzhen going to sing? At this moment, the Manchu soldiers are pressing, is it possible, does he really want to put the contradictions on the surface?

Looking at the nervous but expectant eyes of the generals around him, Liu Ruyi understands that today, his attitude will become the vane of the generals here tomorrow.

"The sky is about to brighten, are you sure the emperor wants to see me?" Liu Ruyi played with the wine glass in his hand and stared directly into the messenger's eyes.

"Yes, yes! General, that's what the emperor means, and there is no half-word of nonsense in his humble position! Where could this messenger stand Liu Ruyi's might, and hurriedly kowtowed and said yes.

Liu Ruyi's eyes flashed with fierceness, "What nonsense!" The emperor treats us and other generals like a mountain, how can he invite me into the palace at this moment? You little guard, you dare to falsely preach the holy decree, leading my monarchs and ministers to be jealous, and your sin is unforgivable! Someone! Drag it down, cut this guy alive for me! ”

"Yes!" In a moment, seven or eight wolf-like soldiers rushed into the tent in a hurry, and like a dead dog, they knocked the messenger to the ground and dragged them out of the tent.

"General, you are wronged, wronged! Your Majesty, that's what Your Majesty said! Wronged, wronged...... Ah......h

The messenger had been dragged out of the tent, but his fierce cry made the hearts of the tent members tighten.

Liu Ruyi's face didn't have any expression.

He naturally knew that what the messenger said was absolutely true, but the matter had come to this point, how could Liu Ruyi go to the palace again?

Even if Emperor Chongzhen did not have the slightest malice, Liu Ruyi would never risk his life.

Just as the wonderful wife of Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty said, 'It is easy to bind the tiger and difficult to indulge the tiger!' ’

In life, there are some mistakes that must not be made, because once you make a mistake, you will never have the opportunity to start over.

Emperor Chongzhen's seemingly insignificant words, but in the hearts of the generals, it undoubtedly seemed like an earth-shattering wave.

A king is a king.

What he represents is the imperial court, the great righteousness, the righteousness, and the sacredness.

Although he was a tiger at the age of nine thousand, in front of the Apocalypse, he was a dog, a dog who could wag his tail and be loyal!

Because, he knows that all the rights on him are given by the emperor around him!

So, Emperor, this is not just a title, but represents the supreme right!

Throughout the ages, hundreds of emperors, except for the real mentally retarded and muddy who can't support the wall, rarely have the power of the emperor fallen.

Because, the emperor's right is really too big!

But at this time, the Manchu army was pressing, but Emperor Chongzhen wanted to come out like this, which was obviously an uncontrollable trick in anger.

Isn't this a clear intention to bring chaos to the hearts of the army?

Give him such a stir, and I am afraid that this wine banquet will not be able to continue.

But the generals never thought that Liu Ruyi would be so decisive and directly cut the emperor's messenger alive, and couldn't help but look at Liu Ruyi, waiting for his attitude.

Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip gently, Liu Ruyi slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, stood up, and glanced around at the generals.

All the generals didn't dare to look directly at Liu Ruyi's gaze, and lowered their heads one after another.

Liu Ruyi smiled and said lightly: "The sky is about to brighten, and today's banquet is almost time!" Brothers, let's disperse! The Manchu army is approaching, we must do a good job of the defense work under our respective commands, and wait for the dispatch of the imperial court at any time! ”

Liu Ruyi spoke, and the generals also knew in their hearts, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Everyone in Beijing didn't expect that today's banquet would encounter such a wonderful drama, and after greetings, they also got up to say goodbye.

After a short time, only Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu were left in the big tent.

Wang Pu said with some concern: "Brother Liu, what does the emperor mean by this?" If you kill him like this, he's afraid, I'm afraid he won't give up, right? ”

Liu Ruyi glanced at Wang Pu, but smiled faintly, "The emperor just wants to test my attitude, if I don't kill this messenger, the emperor will definitely do it himself!" In any case, he is going to die! This is also his life! Don't worry! Brother Wang, Tongzhou is the frontier of Beijing, and this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty swept in, and it was us who rushed! I estimate that this battlefield, if we can't reach the Beijing Division, it is very likely that it will be on the land under our feet! When you go back today, you have to ask your sons to step up the construction of fortifications, and in terms of grain and grass, store as much as possible in case of emergency! ”

Wang Pu nodded hurriedly, "Brother Liu, rest assured, my Datong Army will definitely firmly guard the left flank of the Caishi Army and protect the safety of the Caishi Army." ”

Yang Guozhu couldn't accept Liu Ruyi's attitude for a while, and was speechless for a long time.

Liu Ruyi didn't explain much, patted Yang Guozhu on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

~~~~~~~

Although it was a night of hangover, Liu Ruyi's mind was extremely sober.

Returning to the Caishi Army camp, Liu Ruyi immediately ordered Huolang to step up the construction of defensive offensives, dig deep trenches, and pile up earth walls, and at the same time, a large amount of grain and grass seized from the Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang City was also transported to the front line of the Beijing Division by the mule and horse carts of the three major chambers of commerce such as the Caishi Chamber of Commerce.

Although Emperor Chongzhen is a little petty, and the various armies of the Ming Dynasty are also a little contradictory, this battle cannot but be fought!

Not only to fight, but also to win!

As long as we can win this final battle, it will be a new world!

In this regard, Liu Ruyi did not dare to slack off.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Ruyi is no longer alone.

In addition to the Caishi Army of the headquarters, the Datong Army of Wang Pu, the Shanxi Army of the Hu Dawei Department, the Qin Army of the He Renlong Department, the Qin Army of the Gaojie Department, and the Ma Branch Headquarters of the Shanhaiguan General Army, are all attached to Liu Ruyi's command, only Liu Ruyi's horse head is support, which also makes Liu Ruyi have greater confidence in this battle!

~~~~~

At this time, Liu Ruyi had already entered a deep dream, but in the palace, Emperor Chongzhen had just received the news that the messenger had been cut alive by Liu Ruyi, and his face was pale.

"Liu Ruyi, Liu Ruyi, you are really ruthless! But I despise you! Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth, and his face was gloomy as if it was about to drip water.

On the side, Wang Chengen didn't dare to say much, and stood aside respectfully.

"Big companion, you say, this time, is Liu Ruyi here to enter King Jingqin, or is he here to put up a shelf for me? Did he ever take me seriously? If the Manchu Qing is destroyed, then the next one, I'm afraid it will be me, right? Emperor Chongzhen's tone was cold, like a demon in the depths of hell.

"Your Majesty, this, this can't be!" Wang Chengen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead vigorously, and said carefully: "The Manchu army is pressing, since the Duke of Qi has come to Qinwang, presumably, he should not ......"

"Hmph~! The heart is separated from the belly! He Liu Ruyi is now majestic, the generals of the Ming Dynasty, only he is the first to look forward! Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu and the like, but they didn't listen to me at all! Ome, you say, am I still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Why, why is this situation happening? Emperor Chongzhen yelled hysterically.

Wang Chengen didn't dare to raise his head at all, but his heart was extremely bitter, "Your Majesty, things, things may not be so bad!" Treat Qi Guogong, let's be patient! ”

"Patience? How do you make me patient? Emperor Chongzhen said, but tears flowed down, "I have never slept before my son since I became a child!" Every moment, every moment, there has never been the slightest slack! But why, why is it the way it is! ”

“……”

~~~~~~

Different from Emperor Chongzhen's complaints, at this time, Huang Taiji, who was in Pinggu, got up early in the morning.

The morning air was extremely fresh, and Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel a little refreshed.

He stood in front of the huge map of the Ming Dynasty, carefully marking the location of the military town of King Qinwang and the Nine Border Tribes this time.

Caishi Army, Datong Army, Xuanfu Army, Shanxi Army, Qin Army, Mountain Navy, Beijing Battalion, Firearms Battalion, as long as the information can be obtained, Huang Taiji has not let any of them go.

Looking at the dense little red dots on the map, Huang Taiji suddenly showed a smile.

Liu Ruyi, I think back then, you took advantage of the small gap between my Qing Dynasty departments to break my Qing elites one by one, but now, in your Ming army, such a huge gap......

Hehe!

At this time, there was a report from his cronies outside the door, "Your Majesty, Prince Zheng asks to see you!" ”

"Xuan!" Huang Taiji put down the cinnabar in his hand and said to the outside of the tent.

"Wow!" In a moment, Zilharang walked in briskly.

"Your Majesty, the latest news from Beijing! Emperor Chongzhen invited Liu Ruyi into the palace last night, but Liu Ruyi actually killed Emperor Chongzhen's messenger! Zilharang reported cautiously.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Huang Taiji frowned slightly.

After the Songjin accident, Huang Taiji felt that no one could be trusted, even his son-in-law Haoge, who was also excluded by him, and handed over the most important intelligence work to his playmate since childhood~ Jierharang.

Jierharang is old-fashioned, calculating, loyal to Huang Taiji, and his means are also superior, and he handles the intelligence work of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in an orderly manner, which also gives Huang Taiji more room for thinking and choice.

"It's true! Listening to the news in the palace, Emperor Chongzhen was angry and vomited blood! However, Liu Ruyi's side, there is no movement, our spies can't enter the Caishi Army camp! But the spies on our periphery found that the Caishi Army, the Datong Army, and the Qin Army were hurrying to build fortifications! It seems that they don't want to go to Jingshi! Instead, the position was pressed in Tongzhou! Zilharang explained carefully.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile, and his brows furrowed, "Interesting!" Interesting! Liu Ruyi, you really didn't disappoint me! Hahaha! ”

He glanced at Zilharang, "Prince Zheng, continue to closely monitor the movements of the Ming army, and you must not slack off in the slightest!" Hum~! Liu Ruyi, how do I eat it, and how do you spit it it out for me! ”
