Zhu Cihong stepped forward to hold up Zhou Yuji, and asked with a smile: "You didn't meet Huang Chengming?" ”

Zhou Yuji shook his head: "Xu missed it." ”

"That's it." Zhu Cihong said: "On the battle array, it is common to detour and get lost. I know that you are a loyal man, and you will never come late on purpose. If you are to be punished, what do Xiao Donglou and Tanni say? Right, hehe. Go, close the part, and defend the holy car. ”

Only then did Zhou Yuji realize that the first battalion had been fighting all day, and the second and third battalions had not yet appeared!

The second battalion was following from Cangzhou, and they didn't dare to get too close, otherwise the Dongyu would definitely not dare to go into their pockets. But the third battalion was ordered to collect Zhending, and Gaocheng was only less than fifty miles away from Zhending, so how could it not respond in advance?

Zhu Cihong didn't believe that the tannin would deliberately not come, and he was inevitably a little worried in his heart. For the sake of safety, it was still necessary to let the 1st Guards Battalion seize the time to rest and resettle the camp. No matter what happens on the tannins' side, they can only send a scout horse to contact them first, and the army must not be moved lightly.

For this reason, even the task of pursuing the rout of the Eastern Prisoners, Zhu Cihong had to give up. Now the East Palace system has not yet been consolidated and solid, and many old-style generals have not been firmly tied to the chariot of the East Palace. In the past ten years, all they have seen is the division of feudal towns, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have other thoughts after having strong troops in their hands.

Zhu Cihong regretted that he put Hui Xian, Niu Chenghu, and Zuo Guangxian under Tannin. Not to mention whether the tannin can suppress these veterans, just relying on Niu Chenghu and Zuo Guangxian's ethics in the original historical script, this is a bit overconfident.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Cihong was alert again: this suspicion must be caused by his excessive exhaustion and battlefield pressure. Not to mention that Niu Chenghu and Zuo Guangxian have no reason to defect at the moment, if they take 10,000 steps back, even if they want to defect, they have to pass the three levels of discipline officer, staff officer, and military judge first.

There is also a group of ten in the shadows.

Something must have been delayed.

Zhu Cihong shouted: "Min Ziruo." Send out the scouts to see where the third battalion has gone. Min Ziruo came out in response.

Zhou Yuji reorganized the cavalry and sent people to send the remaining guards to come and converge. He took his personal guards, followed closely behind Zhu Cihong, and rushed to the lookout where Emperor Bixia was stationed on horses to watch the battle.

Although Zhu Cihong ordered the staff to protect Chongzhen when he stepped forward to press the formation, the veteran generals in the staff were unwilling. The middle-aged staff officers were unwilling, so they all rushed into the formation with Zhu Cihong and You Shiwei to stabilize their positions. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, just such a group of generals and colonels carrying the yellow and white star emblem on their shoulders personally went into battle, which really boosted the morale of the defeated army.

In the era of cold weapons, morale is the fight.

Zhu Cihong led his troops back to the lookout, this time he was really wearing armor, stepped forward to clench his fist and hit his chest, and performed an East Palace-style military salute. Said: "The emperor's father Bixia, the son is fortunate not to disgrace his life, defeated the former enemy, and I have come to ask for orders." ”

Chongzhen had already dismounted, sat in the carriage, his face was pale, gently stroked his chest, and watched Zhu Cihong gasp for breath. It was as if he had personally charged into battle just now.

Wang Chengen was no better, and said in a trembling voice: "Chitose." Long live Lord this is tired, this way is too hurtful. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded: "Father, then let's return to Gaocheng first, what do you think?" ”

"Quasi-......" Chongzhen was angry, raised his arm, and turned his face away in shame.

Zhu Cihong was a little strange. Standing so far away, even if you see something disgusting, you won't be scared like this. He asked, "Father, are you not feeling well?" Do you want to see a doctor? ”

"No," Chongzhen said weakly. "It's much better after vomiting."

Zhu Cihong also happened to smell a peculiar smell, and when he followed the smell, there was indeed a puddle of vomit. At this time, I didn't get motion sickness, I thought I saw some cruel scenes on the battlefield, and I was not prepared for it all of a sudden, and I was stimulated.

"Oops! Sir! The blood on your body ......" Wang Chengen pointed to Zhu Cihong's armor and shouted in a fuss: "What are you still doing!" Quickly pass the doctor to Chitose Master to take a look! ”

With Zhu Cihong's position, it is really impossible to get injured and hang the lottery, and the people who can rush into the range of the crown prince's crossbow are already the elite of Jiannu, unless the other party has a sniper rifle with a range of more than 800 meters.

When Chongzhen heard this, he hurriedly probed to check, and sure enough, he saw a red and blackened blood stain under Zhu Cihong's left rib, and his eyes were dizzy, and he seemed to be quite atrophied.

- Well, my father can't be faint, right? He didn't see it when he stabbed Concubine Yuan before.

Zhu Cihong had heard that Chongzhen had killed people with his own hands, and when he saw this performance, he was just as good as Wen Qing, and he was puzzled.

It's just that he didn't know what it was.

At that time, the city was broken, Chongzhen angrily beheaded the eunuchs, and killed his wife and daughter, which were completely impossible to fight back, and it was the zuihou madness of people in despair. Now he watched the battle from afar, and there was still most of the country behind him—although it was only in name, these days of recuperation had gradually healed the wounds in his heart, and he had returned to his former state.

Zhu Cihong looked down at the pool of blood rubbing on the armor out of nowhere, and said with a smile: "Father, if this is the blood of the son-in-law, I'm afraid the son-in-law will not be able to stand anymore." ”

Chongzhen waved his hand: "It's difficult for you to charge into battle personally." Saying that, Chongzhen only felt that the root of his nose was sour, as if he couldn't help crying. He always thought that it was easy to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he never thought that if he was pointing fingers in the palace, the soldiers below would throw their heads and spill blood, open their stomachs and cut off their hands and pouted desperately.

Thinking about it again, he once accused the crown prince of only abandoning his land and abandoning his defense, and falsely reporting his military exploits, and he felt even more remorse and guilt in his heart. If it weren't for the face of the Ninety-Five Supreme, he really wanted to take his son into his arms, so that he could comfort him, and say softly in his ear: I blame you for my father's mistake......

Seeing the tragedy of the war with his own eyes, Chongzhen no longer felt that the insult he received before was because of Donggong Bahuo, which was really because he was too a bastard.

For a moment, Chongzhen even wanted to emulate Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, announcing on the spot that he would pass on the crown prince and become the emperor himself......

It's just that this "instant" disappeared in an instant.

"Father," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "let's start driving, we have to rush back to Gaocheng County before dark." ”

Chongzhen nodded.

Zhu Cihong watched Chongzhen get into the carriage, thinking about his journey, he abandoned the car and rode a horse, and traveled hundreds of miles a day, which was already considered to be the limit. It is a commendable thing to be able to insist on watching the game to zuihou again. It's just that as a mature soul, he has always been regarded as a child by such a young genius, and the role exchange in this is really tangled.

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong is a person whose reason overpowers emotion, and he can adapt to this relationship, but he can't be cute and obedient. Of course, in this era, children who sell cuteness and good behavior are likely to be photographed to death by their parents...... Because that is often equated with retardation and ignorance, only youth and old age are the virtues favored by mainstream society.

"After returning to Gaocheng, persuade the imperial father to stay in the Defu as soon as possible, the battle here is not over yet." Zhu Cihong pulled Wang Chengen and commanded in a low voice.

Wang Chengen was taken aback, shouted "Oops", and said, "It's not over yet!" Chitose, you must take care of yourself. ”

"There will be a division to escort you back." Zhu Cihong's words made Wang Chengen feel a little relieved.

"Your Highness...... Wang Chengen's eyes were hazy with tears, and he said again: "Take care!" ”

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and asked Zhou Yuji to escort the emperor's holy car away from the battlefield with the cavalry, and at the same time ordered Min Zhanlian to choose a reserve division with little battle damage to temporarily serve as the imperial guard to escort the emperor back to the palace of Jinan Dewang.

When the emperor and his party walked away, Zhu Cihong returned to the battlefield under the protection of the guards, and he didn't need to be accompanied by others to patrol, just walked around. The soldiers were a little moved when they saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still on the battlefield. Min Ziruo was worried all the way, for fear that a lifeless Donglu would jump out of the pile of dead people and offend the crown prince.

It wasn't until the crown prince entered the field hospital to collect the wounded tent that Min Zhanlian was relieved.

"Your Highness!" The chief physician of the field hospital greeted him: "Your Highness, this place is messy and bloodstained, please move your Highness." ”

"Are you afraid that I will hinder the treatment?" Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "I don't move." Oh, Ziruo, everyone went to take a hand, carry people and carry things, and listen to the deployment of the green shirt doctor. ”

"This ......," the chief physician hesitated.

Min Ziruo had already answered. (To be continued......)
