In the dense forest, a stag ran from the forest to a clearing in a panic, and there were people in the forest on all sides, blowing trumpets and gongs, waving flags and shouting, so frightened that the stag did not know where to flee, and stood there in a daze.

In the forest, Emperor Tiancong Khan Taiji jumped out of his horse, while bending his bow and arrows, aiming at the deer's neck, and was about to loosen the strings, when suddenly the mount neighed, and his hind legs kicked up for a while, almost knocking him off the horse!

Huang Taiji was shocked and hurriedly reined in the horse's reins, but the horse did not stand still, and kept spinning in place. Huang Taiji knew that the way was wrong, looked down at his beloved horse, and suddenly saw an arrow penetrate the hem of the royal robe, cutting the horse's belly with blood!

Seeing this, one of the guards who had caught up shouted in a hurry: "The Khan has been shot!" With this shout, all of them ran over, and everyone looked panicked and nervous.

Duoduo swept his eyes, and there was Dolgon in the forest on the left, and Zilharan in the forest on the right, and the direction of the arrow could only be directly ahead, so he pointed forward and shouted: "It's the Great Belle!" ”

At the moment when the arrow flew out, Dai Shan also saw Huang Taiji running out of him, and it was too late to stop him, but he felt that the blood in his whole body was surging above his head, and his head immediately swelled! When he saw the hind legs of the Huang Taiji mount kicking wildly, he knew that the disaster was coming, and roared, "Tie up Mengke and bring it over!" Then he rode forward and went straight to Huang Taiji.

When he arrived in front of him, he didn't wait for the horse to stand firm, he jumped down in a hurry, staggered a few steps and knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's my majesty who is not strict, and I shot a deer and mistakenly hit the Khan's royal clothes, please punish the Khan!" I'm going to kill that dog minion who doesn't have long eyes! ”

"Oh? Didn't the big brother shoot it? Huang Taiji's tone was neither cold nor indifferent.

Dai Shan hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's Mengke!" "This is the crime of killing the king, how can I admit it.

Everyone looked at him angrily, and when they heard Dai Shan say that it was Mengke, they all looked at the forest opposite, only to see that Mengke was tied up and pushed over.

Without waiting for Mengke to get close, Dai Shan jumped up, whipped down, and Mengke knelt on the ground, and a bloody stump immediately appeared on his face!

"Mengke, did you shoot me?" Huang Taiji asked coldly on the horse.

Meng Ke knew that he had committed a capital crime, and he kowtowed, and said in fear: "Yes...... It was the minions who shot it, but not the Great Khan, it was the ...... Shoot deer. Slavery is the sin of ten thousand, ten thousand deaths, death! ”

Huang Taiji asked him: "Who asked you to shoot a deer?" ”

Hearing Huang Taiji ask this, Dai Shan's heart tightened, and Yue Tuo on the side also changed his expression.

Mengke only kowtowed there, and stammered: "No, no one, the slave saw that the deer was standing still, so he raised his arrow and shot it, and the slave only stared at the deer, and did not see the Great Khan appear, and the Great Belle saw it, and raised his bow and knocked off the minion's bow, but the arrow had been shot." ”

"The dog slave is going to harm the Great Khan, come on, tie him to a tree, and shoot him to death with ten thousand arrows!" Hauge shouted, and immediately the generals with two yellow flags shouted in unison:

"Shoot him!"

"Hack him!"

When the shouting stopped, Huang Taiji ordered: "Whip a hundred, let it go." ”

"Put? The great crime of killing the king, just a hundred lashes? Hauge froze there, wondering why Amma had let go of the minions who wanted to harm him. Huang Taiji ignored his son, and only said to the belle: "Mengke didn't kill the king, he shot my clothes by mistake, and his crime will not lead to death." ”

"How did Father Khan know that he had shot by mistake?" Haug was unconvinced.

Seeing that Haoge was so angry, Huang Taiji was slightly angry in his heart, and said coldly: "I saw his heart. ”

Hauge was still unconvinced, and he said: "But after all, it shot the Khan King!" With such a light punishment, shouldn't those bad guys be even more emboldened? He's just a Mongol slave, and killing him is just killing a dog! ”

Hearing this latter sentence, Huang Taiji's face immediately sank, and he shouted: "He is a human being, a soldier of mine, not a dog!" Killing one to make an example of a hundred deterrents lawlessness, and it cannot be punished for minor crimes and killing innocents in vain! You remember to me that the Mongolian and Han people are all my people! After speaking, he led the horse's head, "Go back, after a few days of delay, it's time to go to meet Lin Dan'er." ”

Behind him, Meng Ke fell to the ground and mourned, crying bitterly and shouting: "Slave King Xie Khan's great grace is high and thick!" ”

Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Prison, Wang Zheng, who was separated from Sun Yuanhua's cell, walked towards him tremblingly, grabbed the wooden fence, and screamed "Chu Yang" in pain, but he couldn't speak anymore, crying there and couldn't speak.

Chuyang is Sun Yuanhua's cousin, and Wang Zheng is an old friend of Sun Yuanhua's teacher Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua's elder.

Sun Yuanhua approached, held Wang Zheng's hand, and persuaded in turn: "Seniors don't have to cry for Yuanhua, Yuanhua is indeed a saint, and he deserves death." However, the seniors are old, so take care! ”

"It's unfair!" Wang Zheng let out a low trumpet and said angrily, "It's not enough to kill one Yuan Chonghuan, you have to kill all the loyal ministers!" Sun Yuanhua didn't answer, was silent for a moment, and only sighed: "It's not a pity for Yuanhua to die, it's just..."

"Is there anything else that Chu Yang can't let go?" Wang Zheng looked at Sun Yuanhua sadly.

"When Yuanhua Tianqi was dismissed in the seventh year, he did not avoid suspicion, and he looked at his old friends, and only one predecessor. At that time, the seniors gave Yuanhua a poem, can the seniors remember? ”

Wang Zheng just nodded and didn't speak. Sun Yuanhua turned around and said:

"Shanglin Xiu temporarily returned to the field, and wanted to be idle and filial piety.

The color of the daylilies in the hall is stationed, and the laurel trees in the forest are dewy.

On the talent, he once knew the species of Hua, and the policy could clear the side and stuff the smoke.

Not long ago, the king of Ming should have a dream, and he rebuilt his reputation Le Yanran. ”

After reading it, he sighed: "Alas, this Le Yanran's Xunye Yuanhua can't be rebuilt. ”

These words made Wang Zhengsi burst into tears, and he held back for a while, and smiled bitterly, "The old man didn't say it, you did." ”

"What did Yuanhua say?" Sun Yuanhua didn't understand what Wang Zheng meant.

Wang Zheng smiled sadly: "Do you remember your poem about the two-headed snake?" ”

Sun Yuanhua understood, and sighed, "Yes, that's right." ”

"Sun Yuanhua, Lord Xu sees that you are here!"

There was a call from the jailer outside, and the two looked over together, sure enough, it was Xu Guangqi who came, followed by a person, slender and long, and when he got closer, he saw it clearly, Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng were stunned, it was actually the Italian priest of Qin Tianjian Tang Ruowang!

Sun Yuanhua stepped forward and shouted respectfully: "The student has seen two teachers!" ”

Xu Guangqi stepped forward to hold Sun Yuanhua's hand, his eyes were full of tears, and he said: "Chuyang, you can rest assured that your family is here, and they will have no worries about food and clothing." What else do you have to tell the old man? ”

Sun Yuanhua nodded slightly, and didn't say much about family affairs, but asked, "Is the rebel army pacified?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Dengzhou has been recovered, Li Kong can't break Laizhou, it's the end of the strong crossbow." ”

Sun Yuanhua lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "What Yuanhua is not worried about is only the east. The students thought that if they wanted to consolidate the outside of the pass, it was better to collect and see the Liao people, so that the good generals and soldiers could be trained by selecting the brave and strong, and using the Liao people to supplement the Liao soldiers, which could save a lot of recruitment costs, and use the Liao soldiers to defend the Liao land, especially the thoughts of the hometown and homeland, and use the Liao land to store Liao grain, and gradually reduce the cost of grain and grass transportation, so as to get the way of peace in the outside. Students think this is the most important thing in the East today. ”

Xu Guangqi nodded frequently when he heard this, and after Yuanhua finished speaking, he sighed lightly, pointed to Tang Ruowang to the side, and said, "The old man invited him to come to forgive sins for you and Wang Tao." ”

After Sun Yuanhua heard this, he hurriedly turned to Tang Ruowang and knelt down, Tang Ruowang glanced at him with a complicated expression, took out the Bible with his left hand, and slowly put his right hand on Sun Yuanhua's head

In order to confuse the Ming army in Xiaoguanzhuang, Li Zhongfu led 10,000 people to stay in the camp, and the remaining 40,000 horses evacuated at night.

Li Jiucheng's troops took Xia Yuanliang and Zheng Qigang as the vanguard of the army, and the two led 6,000 soldiers to Dengzhou one step ahead of the main force.

When he reached Zhaoyuan, Xia Yuanliang's eyelids kept jumping, and he only felt that there was danger ahead. said that he listened to Zheng Qigang, but Zheng Qigang didn't care, saying that the Ming army in Dengzhou was only a few thousand people, and he didn't dare to let them out lightly if he let them go. Just be bold and hurry, and wait until you arrive in Dengzhou to take the city in one go, and then take this first feat. If you are lucky enough to capture that Shi Dayong, you will have to dismantle him to disembarkation in order to vent the evil breath in your heart.

Zheng Qigang has a bad anger in his heart, Xiaoguanzhuang fought a battle, he has seen the strength of the Jinzhou army, if it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army, the Jinzhou army would have been served in a pot, where would there be today's scourge. After suffocating for a few months under Laizhou City, he has gained nothing, and now he has to evacuate in disgrace, and no one can suppress this breath.

The sun was rising high, and there was nothing in sight but green shade, not even a single bird, and there were six thousand people on his side, so even if there was an ambush, there was no need to be too afraid. At present, the top priority is to rush to Dengzhou as soon as possible, what will happen if you can't take Dengzhou, Xia Yuanliang is very clear. Li Zhongfu's 10,000 people will hold out for two or three days at most, and the Ming army will see the truth and reality, and then the Ming army of Xiaoguanzhuang will be exhausted, but Dengzhou has not yet been taken, and for the rebels, it will be a real disaster.

Pass the order down and speed up the march.

When the tired soldiers heard that they had to speed up, they immediately complained, but they still reluctantly accelerated their pace under the officer's order.

After another two or three miles, there was an open field in front of him, overgrown with weeds, and on either side were several small forests.

The rebels at the front almost instinctively stopped, staring in astonishment at the open field ahead.

There was no one in the open field, but there were people in the woods on either side.

The people hiding in the forest did not seem to have any intention of hiding their whereabouts, and when the rebels arrived, they drove out of the forest without any scruples, and shouted unscrupulously.

One, two, three

In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand horsemen rushed out of the forest, one after another.

The rebels looked carefully, and the cavalry all had a human skull hanging on their chests, and the skeleton was hollow and revealing a hideous and terrifying fierce light.
