That Yang Zhaoji shouted: "No matter who we are assigned, we are all loyal to the country, but there is also a way to be loyal, you can't be so stupid to send to death, who doesn't want to go, you can go now, lead the team to Tianjin, just say that we were defeated by the Xuzhou thief army, you fled over there to ask for containment, you are all good men, and joining the army is a useful talent, it is better than spending it here in vain." ”

"If you are willing to go, go now, the old man and Lord Yang only ask you not to scatter as bandits, and do not take refuge in Xuzhou rebels, but go to Tianjin to join the army!" Yang Zhaoji said in a rough voice, the scene was quiet and silent, at this point, who can still get up high, the soldiers and prefects sitting there looked at each other, and the current scene is really not the expected development.

Having said this, there were already cavalry shouting and turning around, gathering around the periphery of the brigade to leave, and some people in the team scolded these who left, but because it was the opinion of the main general, it was not easy to clearly set fire and, but Yang Guodong, who was standing on the stage, saw it clearly, and said in a low voice: "It's all from Liaodong, if they can escape from that side, they can escape from this side again!" ”

Yang Zhaoji was stunned, but at this time, someone in the audience shouted: "General, what should you do with your old man?" Take us away! ”

The scene became very quiet, Yang Zhaoji laughed, put his helmet on his head, took two steps forward and said: "There is an order from the imperial court, the old man naturally has to obey the order, the old man and Lord Yang are ready to lead the team south and fight to the death with the Xuzhou thief!" ”

The audience was dead silent again, first to dismiss the troops, and then to go to the decisive battle with the Xuzhou thief army, isn't this just to send them to death? The order just now still makes people reverie, and at this time, it will be easier for everyone to make a decision, and some people cry and shout in the audience: "General, your kindness will be repaid in the next life!" ”

More and more cavalry turned their horses away, and the dense cavalry and horse teams under the stage began to become sparse, and the same was true of Yang Guodong's subordinates, who also thought that what Yang Zhaoji said was just their own family, and after getting Yang Guodong's confirmation, they knew that this was for everyone, so that more people left, and when no one moved, there were more than 800 horses scattered under the stage.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong looked at each other and smiled, and some people below shouted: "Master General, in life and in death, I will follow your old man, so many years are worth it!" ”

Yang Zhaoji nodded, walked down the platform side by side with Yang Guodong, and before going down, he stopped and turned his head, looked at the few civil officials who looked stunned and didn't know why, shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "No matter what eunuch Donglin, everyone is a Ming courtier, don't talk about factions, think about whether it is good for our Ming Dynasty first, without the thousands of horses of the old man and Lord Yang, what are the thousands of foot soldiers here worth!" ”

After Sun Chengzong came here to announce the recall of Wei Zhongxian, there were a total of 6,000 foot soldiers in Hejian Mansion, and this force of soldiers and horses was considered to be in the hands of people from the Donglin side.

The combination of foot and horse, the strength is greater, and the grasp is greater, but now, there is no need to say anything, the soldier Zhang Zaixin has the heart to scold, but looking at the expressions and attitudes of Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong, he can't say anything, only the prefect on the side muttered there, "It's nothing more than a rabble, making such a tragic appearance, do you want to complain to the princes of the court?" Hearing this, Zhang Zaixin felt reasonable, but he didn't feel right, he just watched Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong's hundreds of horses ride out of the camp.

On this day, Hejian Fufu City is like a festival, the gentry and the common people are celebrating, the sales of wine and meat have increased greatly, and there are even firecrackers on the street.

The horse team of less than 900 horses has enough food and grass, and it is fast and fast enough on the plain terrain such as Hejian Mansion, not to mention that a large number of detective horses have been sent before, so Yang Zhaoji, the former chief soldier of the Daimyo Army, knows enough about the movements of the Zhao family's army, but the more horse detectives sent out to ride out and come back are few, some of the cavalry are scattered, and more are killed under the cover of the Zhao family's horse team.

Early in the morning of April 13, after Yang Zhaoji's department made a fire and made food, he piled up the grain and grass in the camp, and more than 800 horsemen poured out of the nest.

"I thought I could lure out the cavalry of the thief army, but I didn't expect the thief army to fight steadily, just like this, all the way to the north, we can only go to the front to stop." Yang Zhaoji said with a smile on the horse, the atmosphere of the cavalry team behind him was very dull, but Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong were quite relaxed, talking and laughing on the horse.

Yang Guodong, the former Shandong commander-in-chief, rubbed his helmet, but said with a wry smile apologetically: "Brother Taichu, but it was the younger brother who affected you, and this eunuch's hat is actually worthy of the name of the younger brother alone, and you are guilty of it." ”

Yang Zhaoji took out a piece of multigrain cake from his coat, leaned over and stretched out his arm and handed it to the horse's mouth, waited for the mount to eat before he sat up straight, looked into the distance and said slowly: "Actually, Grandpa Wei is still good for this world."

After saying this, Yang Zhaoji shook his head with a smile, and said self-deprecatingly: "The old man is also a eunuch, that year to pacify the thieves of the Wenxiang Sect, someone wrote to me, saying that he should not serve the eunuch party at this time, so as to overthrow the eunuch party and attack again, that is a great achievement for the country and the people, the old man feels that the situation is critical, and if he continues to toss like this, the six provinces of Shandong and the surrounding areas will be instigated, and after that time, he was made a eunuch party." ”

"It's ridiculous, it's hard not to let people do things for the country, isn't the eunuch party they are talking about not doing things for the country!" Yang Guodong was a little angry.

"Brother Xian, we have been blessed for generations, and we should fight to the death for the country, and those twists and turns between the DPRK and China, we should ignore them, and it is useless to ignore them."

"I really wanted to cling to Gonggong Wei, how could I also be a marquis and worship the general, and earn a wealth for myself and my descendants, but I never thought that I would come to this point, Brother Taichu, after this time, will we be considered loyal martyrs?"

Speaking of this, Yang Guodong, the former Shandong commander-in-chief, laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "Well, it's still a eunuch, and it has no chance with the martyrs."

While he was talking, he could already see the dust in the south, and the scouts who had been scattered out had already engaged people, shooting and slashing at each other on their horses, and some people had fallen off their horses.

"Tell me to go down, let the sons and daughters take it back, and now they can see it with their eyes." Yang Zhaoji calmly gave an order, and the light cavalry of the official army began to return to the team, and the light cavalry of the Zhao family army did not chase too closely.

At this moment, the relaxed looks on the faces of Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong were gone, and Yang Guodong said in a muffled voice: "I have been patronizing Tartars and thieves all these years, why did this Xuzhou thief suddenly appear, they are not those rabble, Brother Taichu can remember the several battles of recovering Jining City and sweeping away the incense thieves?" ”

Seeing Yang Zhaoji nodding, Yang Guodong lowered his voice and said: "It is said that the main force of the Wenxiang Sect was leveled by Xuzhou thieves, let's pick up a bargain!" ”

Yang Zhaoji didn't feel uncomfortable on his face, but he just smiled and said, "Do you remember Zhou Baolu, the general of Xuzhou?" He has worked with his brother for a few months, according to Zhou Baolu, that Zhao Jin knows how to do business, relies on soju and private salt to gather great profits, and then knows how to train soldiers, and trains the young and strong people in the remote places of Xuzhou into a strong army, if you think about it carefully, the Xuzhou thief army we see is not the same as those mentioned in Qi Shaobao's book? ”

As he was talking, he could see Zhao Jiajun's brigade slowly stopping in front, and Yang Zhaoji waved his hand and shouted: "Don't rush now, don't keep moving forward!" ”

He made a few gestures, and the subordinates behind him could naturally understand it, and began to slowly change formations, Yang Guodong muttered in a low voice, Yang Zhaoji's gestures changed again, and the formation of the official cavalry became more and more scattered.

At this moment, they heard an angry scolding sound behind them, Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong turned to look over, and found that there were cavalry ready to leave, but they were caught up by their companions behind them, and they were fighting immediately, Yang Zhaoji shook his head and shouted: "Don't stop, if you want to go, you can go casually, if you want to go ahead, you can't go!" ”

The few people who left the team cried and hugged their fists on the horse, and then beat the horses and left, but the others didn't move much, although some people looked wandering, but they still followed the team, Yang Guodong followed and shouted: "Fight the banner, we are also the dignified court to control the soldiers and horses, we must be decent!" ”

The back responded and shouted, and the flag had been raised, and the changes in the military formation of the Zhao family army in front could be seen, but there was no major movement overall, and many teams were still maintaining the posture of advancing at any time, looking at the nearly 1,000 horsemen who did not take it into their eyes at all.

Walked forward a little further, but saw a horse galloping with a flag in front of the Zhao family's army formation, the official cavalry did not move, everyone could see that this was a shouting report, sure enough, the Zhao family's cavalry sergeant stopped his horse a hundred steps away and shouted loudly.

"On the other side, are Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong?"

"My general originally sent you a letter to the past, but unfortunately, the letter arrived in the river and happened to be missed, Mr. Zhou Baolu Zhou wrote to the two, saying that the overall situation has been decided, why not conform to the will of heaven and kill less soldiers."

"The general of my family promised that as long as the two lead the troops to surrender, the whole family can be properly settled, there will be no liquidation pursuit, all the subordinates who are willing to join the army will be given priority, and those who are unwilling will also have corresponding arrangements, we are all Chinese people, why kill each other, save your strength to fight the Tartars, the Japanese and the foreigners together!"

"It's too late to reply now, if you don't agree, we'll see you on the battlefield!"

After the cavalry sergeant of the Zhao family army shouted, he turned his horse back and waited there a hundred steps back.
