When the time entered the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the entire north of the Yellow River was already thousands of miles of bloody, the soldiers were in trouble, and the war spread to every corner, only the Ming Jingshi was as firm and lonely as a pillar in a turbulent storm. And the helmsman of this pillar stone, Zhu Youzhen, the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sat in the Fengtian Hall with a gloomy face.

Zhu Youzhen's gaze swept over the faces of His Royal Highness's military officials one by one, he had asked three times, but no one could give him an answer, not even a satisfactory answer. The country passed down by Taizu has reached the sixteenth generation, and it has been tossed into this bird-like, and he feels powerless, and even has a trace of hatred.

Hates God's injustice, if he is a stupid and incompetent person like Emperor Han Ling and Emperor Jin Hui, it would be fine, since he ascended the throne, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he has never dared to relax and slack off in the slightest. But in the end, the Daming country is even more stormy, natural disasters continue, and the north is raging. Every time I dream back at midnight, I can't help but cry bitterly, is the Ming Dynasty going to die at the hands of his Zhu Youzhen? Unwilling to that!

I don't know which minister couldn't hold back his cough, and then pulled his thoughts back to Fengtian Temple. Faced with a group of ministers who had been eating corpses all day, he felt that he had nothing to do. The ministers killed a group and demoted a group, but they still couldn't deter these ministers who were obsessed with selfish interests.

At this time, he even missed Wen Tiren a little, no matter what, when he was in office, he would always come up with a way for himself. At the same time, Zhu Youzhen's eyes involuntarily glanced at Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Liu Yuliang lowered his head and stared at the wat board in his hand like an old monk, but a chill that pierced his bones made him no longer able to calm down, and out of the intuition cultivated by the court for many years, he could feel the emperor's cold gaze.

Since Wen Tiren's dismissal, no one has been able to serve in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet for more than half a year, and he was deposed in just a few months. Liu Yuliang joined the cabinet in June and has been in the cabinet for exactly half a year now. A strong, ominous premonition came over me.

Sweat dripped down from his temples, and his cold gaze was still on Liu Yuliang's body like a knife and a sword. He finally couldn't take it anymore and took a step.

"The minister has this to play!"

After saying this, Liu Yuliang suddenly felt that the coldness around his body seemed to disappear into nothingness.

Prosecutor Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief, and Shoufu finally stood up.

"Does the Qing family have a solution?"

Liu Yuliang raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, this action was extremely indecent, it was a loss of honor in front of the king, but as long as he could come up with a practical way, Zhu Youzhen could forgive him.

"Minister, minister, minister asked to supervise the military affairs before the army."

Chongzhen didn't expect Liu Yuliang to hold back for a long time to be such an idea, but he was still overjoyed, as long as his subordinates dared to use their lives, this Ming would not die. Immediately slapped the dragon chair with his hand and stood up on the ground.

"Okay, from now on, the governor of Liu Qing's family will be the governor of the world! Lu Xiangsheng was cowardly and afraid of war, and delayed the fighter, which caused the war in Zhili to become more and more erosive, and he was dismissed! ”

Lu Xiangsheng was defeated in even battles, Zhu Youzhen had long wanted to replace him, Liu Yuliang was still the leader when he sat on military affairs, and today he invited himself to supervise the teacher, fortunately, he used it to replace Lu Xiangsheng.

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked, and the first person to stand up against it was Yang Sichang, a scholar of the Eastern Pavilion University of the Ministry of Rites.

"Long live, the change of generals in the middle of the war, I am afraid of hurting the morale of the army, please think twice!"

At the same time, Xue Guoguan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up against it.

Zhu Youzhen was originally full of arrogance, thinking that the first assistant superintendent would always bring a glimmer of light to this chaotic situation, but he didn't expect that Yang Sichang, who he relied on the most in military affairs, would jump out to oppose it, and said angrily: "When I asked about the plan, everyone pretended to be dumb, and some people stood up and were willing to share their worries for me, and they didn't even oppose it, all of them were with intentions? ”

Although Zhu Youzhen was arbitrary, he relied heavily on Yang Sichang in military affairs, and he could not care if others objected to him, but Yang Sichang had no reason not to attach importance to his objections.

But when they saw Yang and Xue, they were upset for a while, and they wanted to end the matter as soon as possible.

"According to what Yang Qing said, Lu Xiang was promoted and stayed, and Liu Qing still went south to supervise the military on my behalf!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the little eunuch standing next to him. The little eunuch was very excited, and immediately understood what the emperor meant, shook the dust in his hand, stepped forward, and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

After the little eunuch finished shouting, the hanging hearts of the hundreds of officials finally landed, and today's morning dynasty finally passed.

Zhu Youzhen left the Fengtian Temple in the sound of the Qunchen Mountain, Liu Yuliang wiped the sweat on his face, but his heart was infinitely desolate, he was still in a good mood when he came in the morning, but at this moment he got an errand to inspect the military, and went out of Beijing City, is there still a peaceful place in this world? Do you still have a life to come back?

When he was in the palace, he blurted out that the military inspector was also forced by Chongzhen, and now that the wood is complete, it is too late to regret it.

"Liu Xiang stays!"

Liu Yuliang didn't need to look back to hear who the person who called him was, and turned around and gave his hand.

"The palace of Shicai is also thanks to Yang Xiang's rescue, otherwise it would ......"

In the second half of the sentence, Liu Yuliang couldn't say anything, let him recite poems and write articles, even if he talked about the army on paper, he could be the first to say, but if he really asked him to command the army, it was really a duck on the shelf.

Yang Sichang waved his hand, "You and I are both for the court, and the emperor should dissuade him from saying anything for a while." Then he said solemnly: "Does Liu Xiang have a plan to go?" ”

Liu Yuliang is blind, he doesn't know anything about military affairs, how can he have any plans.

"Please also ask Yang Xiang to teach me!"

At this time, of course, I don't care about any face problems, besides, Yang Sichang's soldiers are registered in front of the emperor, and there is nothing to be ashamed of asking him for advice.

"Si Chang has a word to send."

"Yang Xiangdan!"

"Along the way, walk more, listen more, and see more."

After listening to these six words, Liu Yuliang understood in his heart, but he was just asked to be a deaf ear, do nothing, just go and walk around and come back, which is also in his mind.

"Yang Xiang, Yu Liang has one more thing to ask."

Yang Sichang smiled: "But the southbound route? ”

Liu Yuliang smiled and nodded, which can be regarded as an acknowledgement.

"Now the Tartar army is mostly gathered in Baoding and the first line between the rivers. Lu Jiandou is afraid that he has already passed Jizhou now, and the only way to catch him is to go east and west, and Liu Xiang can choose one of them! ”

He couldn't figure out Yang Sichang's road a little, but he didn't want to think about it much, out of the Forbidden City, a gust of north wind blew, and Liu Yuliang shivered, and suddenly felt that the wind was cold and the water was cold

In the Hejian Government Office, Yue Tuo was still leaning on the couch sickly, the charcoal in the brazier had not been changed for a long time, and it had begun to turn gray, and the room was gradually getting colder. After careful treatment by the entourage, Yue Tuo's eyes had improved and he could read letters, but he had to put the paper close to his face to read it word by word.

Lang Zhong looked at his injuries and said that the southerners were vicious and insidious, but Yue Tuo knew that he was careless and fell for other people's tricks. Regardless of the conspiracy, as long as it can strike the enemy, it is a useful strategy.

He really wanted to meet this southerner in person. By this time, he had already learned of the disappearance of Prince Su Hauge. According to internal rumors, Hauge was born and died, and nine times out of ten, he was taken captive by that Li Xin, and he was in Gaoyang City at this time. However, Dolgon blocked the news, and he didn't know much about the deeper inside story, but since this matter can be reported, it may not be groundless.

And he also got the news that Dolgon had originally planned to take this man down, but unexpectedly it was calculated. Even a shrewd man like Dorgon fell for his way, and he was careless, and he was not wronged after all. But Yue Tuo thought that the soldiers were treacherous, and they were also divided into situations, and now he set up tens of thousands of troops to collect the remnants of the Ming Dynasty with less than 1,000 people, so he could have a thousand skills, and it was difficult to resist! Unless the person escapes, that's a different matter.

Yue Tuo intuitively felt that Li Xin would not escape, and there was even a great possibility that he would fight to the death.

"Someone!"

The soldier on duty outside the door heard the movement and opened the door and entered the house.

"Does the general have any orders?"

"Go and ask, if there is anyone back from Suning."

The soldier replied, "Just as I was about to report it, the messenger sent back by Suning has just arrived!" ”

"How can I not report earlier? Hurry up for him to come to me. ”

The soldier was reprimanded, but it was not easy to refute, obviously you did not allow anyone to come in without an order, even the charcoal brazier was not allowed to come in without an order. But it is understandable that the general's eye injury is strict, and the love is repeated.

This time, it was Akzia, one of Aobai's subordinates before his death, who led the troops to Suning, and was driven to the river with Aobai after the camp of Gaoyang City was roaring. There were still 2,000 soldiers and horses, and Yue Tuo, for the sake of safety, allocated another 1,000 more people to him, making up the number of 3,000.

This person had fought with Li Xin several times, and he should be the officer who knew Li Xin the most in the army, and Yue Tuo sent him for this reason, and according to common sense, since Li Xin had killed Ao Bai and Mazik, he must have expected that he would take revenge, so the possibility of staying in Suning was extremely low.

In addition, Akzia is the younger brother of Baiyintu, and he is also a well-known rising star in the army, as long as he plays safely, there will be no mistakes.

The messenger was brought into the house, and the soldiers took the opportunity to replace the charcoal brazier with new charcoal, and the fire was rekindled, and the room gradually became warm again.

The staff member beside Yue Tuo took the letterhead and read it out one by one.

The meaning is that Suning has been occupied bloodlessly, and people are being sent to search for Li Xin's whereabouts in all directions, and the main road leading to the river in the south of Zhending has been controlled, and the logistics team can pass with confidence, and the escort team in the Shenzhou area will be able to pass through Guò in the near future.

After listening to the report, Yue Tuo nodded with satisfaction, and then fell into deep thought, I don't know when the six hundred remnants of the Ming Dynasty have faintly become a stinger in his Yue Tuo's heart.

Yue Tuo closed his eyes, and the map of the entire Hejian, Baoding, and Zhending area flashed in his mind, and he tried to find the places where Li Xin might appear one by one.

……

That night, the people rushed to the south gate of Suning City with Li Xin.

In order to avoid the search of the Tartars during the day, they bypassed the Iron Lantern Inspection Division, entered the territory of Zhending Mansion, and went back to Suning from the south.

Li Xin ordered people to drag out the iron cannon that had been hidden outside the city earlier, and the muzzle of the cannon was facing the south gate of Suning.

"Raise the fire!"

Thousands of people lit torches at the same time, stretching for miles in the darkness, and the sound was formidable from afar.

"Fire!"
