"Confused!" Cai Maode stomped his feet on the ground, and his whole face wrinkled together: "The general is here in Taiyuan, who will Ningwuguan hand over?!" ”

Zhou Yuji took out a piece of paper from his arms, and said helplessly: "There is a military department to move the text, how dare I disobey?" What's more, if Taiyuan is lost, Ningwu will be alone, even if you want to defend it, you can't hold it. Although Zhou Yuji said that he couldn't hold it geographically, he thought in his heart: Thousands of people are guarding the pass, and there are tens of thousands of people attacking the city outside, even if Sun and Wu Fuqi can't hold it!

"Who is this?" Cai Maode set his eyes on the general behind Zhou Yuji. Although he was wearing the same uniform color as an ordinary Ming soldier, his eight-foot height made his fat jacket extremely strong. And there are some other kinds of ornaments on his fat jacket, which are the star emblem horizontal bars on the shoulders of the guards of the East Palace.

Xiao Mo was also quite helpless, and only sighed in his heart: This is Wenzun Wubei!

"The last general will be the head of the East Palace Guard Battalion, Zuo Qian, Xiao Mo." Xiao Mo introduced himself, but said in his heart: I don't know how many times I have met you in the East Palace tent, and you still don't recognize me!

He misunderstood Cai Maode. Cai Maode has been copying scriptures and reciting Buddha in the dim scripture hall all year round, and he has myopia and astigmatism very early. In the past two years, I have gradually gotten older, although myopia has improved a lot, but I have suffered from presbyopia, and I have always been hazy when I see people and things.

"Oh, it's General Xiao who went straight to the enemy formation!" Qianzhong is always the official position of the guard system, if it corresponds to the battalion officer system, it is about between the garrison and the capital division, and it belongs to the middle-level military general, and it is not a general. It's just that the status of the guard battalion of the East Palace is different, and Xiao Mo's courage to fall into battle in person is indeed admirable, so Cai Maode was honored as a general.

Xiao Mo bowed slightly to say that he didn't dare to be, and then said: "I am humbled by the order of the crown prince, and lead the people of the headquarters to protect the ministry." ”

Cai Maode was overjoyed when he heard this, and stepped forward and said: "There is such an iron army defending the city. Why worry about breaking into the realm of thieves! ”

Xiao Mo pursed his lips slightly, but said in his heart: Don't you hear clearly? Just to protect you. It's not our turn to defend the city.

When Xiao Mo charged, he brought two elite killer bureaus, a total of more than 200 people. Attacking the Chinese army of thieves, capturing the flag, and breaking through to the north into the mountains. Along the way, everyone was wounded. Those who are seriously injured can only stay in the homes of mountain people to recuperate. I don't know if I'll get through it. As for the martyrs, it is as high as one-third, and even Zhen Feiyu, the head of the hundred, is also on the list of martyrs.

After such a bloody battle, without medical treatment, replenishment, recuperation, and restorative exercises, how can you participate in the sequence of defending the city? Zhu Cihong passed on Xiao Mo to protect Cai Maode, but only allowed him to escape alone at the juncture of Zuihou, and did not expect thousands of weak brigades to be able to resist Li Zicheng's 100,000 army.

Zhou Yuji also heard about the achievements of the guard battalion, and saw Li Zicheng's Daxu with his own eyes - the guards of the East Palace would rather die than throw away this Daxu, and brought it all the way back to Hedong. Although he failed to kill Li Zicheng, it was enough to prove that this group of fierce guards who were not afraid of death were the strongest army in the world. Naturally, he can win the favor of Zhou Yuji.

"It's strange that the Ministry of War has moved this message, but since I have already brought five hundred soldiers here, I also ask the Ministry to order the defense area." Zhou Yuji asked out loud.

"How about the general guarding the east gate?" Cai Maode looked like a good gentleman and discussed with Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji didn't say a word, and said loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Cai Maode was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately thought: There are tens of thousands of thieves outside the city, even if there are such two strong armies in hand, there is still no possibility of holding Taiyuan. I can't help but feel sad about it.

Xiao Mo and Zhou Yuji came out of the governor's courtyard, and the two turned over and got on their horses. It's like going back to camp. Zhou Yuji was about to say goodbye, but Xiao Mo suddenly said: "The general broke through the 70,000 troops of the Eastern Captives with 100 horses in Yang Liuqing, which is admirable!" ”

Zhou Yuji was stunned for a moment, and his heart blossomed, in this world, what can be more pleasant than heroism!

Chongzhen fifteen years. Dongyu Huang Taiji granted Abatai as the general who was ordered to "grab the west", entered the border from the mouth of the Yellow Cliff, Kecheng eighty-eight, descended to the city six, and killed the Lu King Zhu Yipai. He captured a population of more than 360,000 people, 12,000 taels of gold and 2.2 million taels of silver, and looted almost the wealth of the entire Hebei, Jinan, and Shandong.

At that time, Zhou Yuji was ordered to go to Shanxi as the chief soldier, had already set off the camp, halfway heard that there were 70,000 Qing soldiers to pass through Yangliuqing, return to the outside of the pass, then led hundreds of cavalry back to Yangliuqing, took advantage of the terrain to attack and kill the eastern captives, beheaded thousands, it was a rare battle since the battle of Salhu to win more with less.

mentioned the glorious moments in his life, Zhou Yuji's face lit up and said, "It's just a fluke." It is not as good as Brother Xiao charging 100,000 people with 200 warriors. ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "It is said that it is a hundred thousand army, and at that time, Li Chuangzhong's army was at the forefront, and the main force was south of Hexi. The enemy formation was in chaos because of the rupture of the river ice, and I was just picking up a bargain, which was far worse than General Zhou's attack on the Eastern Prisoners. ”

"Hey," Zhou Yuji shook his head and said, "That's also someone putting gold on a certain family." It is said that there are 70,000 Dongyu, but Manchuria is only 3,000, and the rest are all coats and Mengtars. And speaking of Yang Liuqing, hehe, it's really not a good thing to have a lot of people. ”

Xiao Mo frowned: "The most admired thing in Xia is a famous general like General Zhou, I don't know if the general can appreciate the light, let me be the east in the next and have a drink." ”

Zhou Yuji didn't have anything urgent to deal with when he wanted to return to the camp, and naturally someone would help him take care of defense and military affairs. He also admired a brave general like Xiao Mo, and readily agreed, and the two walked side by side, as if they had been close friends for many years.

After Xiao Mo returned to Taiyuan with his troops, he stationed troops in the Jin Palace, which was just convenient for the banquet for Zhou Yuji. There was no one in the Jin Palace, either who followed the King of Jin to the east or was sent home. Xiao Mo brought all the soldiers who died in their lives, and they must not do miscellaneous work, but fortunately, Taiyuan Mansion sent civilian servants to undertake miscellaneous work.

The two of them drank three rounds in the palace, and naturally talked about the terrain of the battle that day, and the deployment of the two armies. When the wine was hot, he dipped the wine and drew a map on the table, chatting heartily.

"If General Daming is like you and my brother, why would he let the thieves and thieves be so rampant!" Zhou Yuji poured a bowl full of wine, and cried loudly: "Now that half of the country has fallen, isn't it a shame for us and other martial artists!" ”

Xiao Mo patted Zhou Yuji's shoulder, his tongue was slightly bigger, but his mind was still sober: "Brother, why do you have to be this little daughter!" Let me tell you that the crown prince is a real star who has come down to earth to reorganize the mountains and rivers! When the time comes, there will be a place for you and me! ”

Zhou Yuji shook his head heavily: "Brother, you still have a chance, but brother, I can only explain here." With red eyes, he stared at Xiao Mo and said bluntly: "Taiyuan is a dead land, and there is absolutely no reason to keep it." ”

"It depends on whether my brother is willing to ......"

"Brother, stay there!" Zhou Yuji grabbed Xiao Mo's hand and said loudly: "Brother, I am favored by the emperor, and I am on the battlefield arbitrarily, but only one army is loyal!" There is no reason to escape! ”

"Brother doesn't know how to write the word 'escape'!" Xiao Mo grabbed Zhou Yuji's wrist and said, "Brother's general is what the crown prince values very much!" This time, His Royal Highness used the military department to transfer his brother to Taiyuan, just because he wanted the younger brother to discuss with your brother and follow the crown prince to reorganize the mountains and rivers! ”

Zhou Yuji withdrew his hand, patted his head heavily, and looked at Xiao Mo puzzled: "Brother, I don't understand." Isn't the imperial court the crown prince's family? ”

"The imperial court belongs to the emperor," Xiao Mo said with a smile, "The crown prince is the emperor's son, but he can't be the imperial court." ”

"I see." The blood red in Zhou Yuji's eyes gradually dissipated, revealing a hint of clarity: "The young owner wants to be independent." ”

Xiao Mo took out a letter from his arms and slapped it on the table: "Brother, I was a prodigal half a year ago, and I was a pillar in the palace with the merits of my ancestors. Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling on weekdays, there is an empty body shelf, but it is a useless waste! Today, I can sit and discuss with the world's famous generals, thanks to the cultivation of the East Palace. Brother, you are a good general, if you follow the East Palace, I don't know what the future will be! ”

Zhou Yuji is a veteran soldier, from the Beijing camp to the border soldiers, and even the general military officer of a province, he has already probed to the bottom of Xiao Mo in a few words, and he is indeed not an experienced general. As he said, a novice who has eaten half a year's grain can make a meritorious feat of killing a general and capturing the flag, and now in troubled times, how can he, an old warrior on the battlefield, have less meritorious deeds!

"In today's world, the only one who can turn the tide is the prince!" Xiao Mo pressed the letter heavily: "Brother make a decision quickly, whether to read this order or not!" (To be continued......)

PS: Ask for a ticket! It's Friday tomorrow, and I don't know if I'll run naked next week, so I'm worried.
