In the courtyard of Yu Qian's house, the stall head paced back and forth anxiously, looked at the door from time to time, and shouted loudly: "Why haven't you come yet?!" ”

Yu Qian and his wife in the hall had already finished eating the winter solstice meal, looked at each other and smiled, Yu Qian said: "Don't be afraid, lady, you won't feel it soon." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"With you, I'm not afraid of anything...... Yinling smiled and said to Qian: "Xianggong, do it." ”

Yu Qian nodded and reached out to pick up the fire tongs.

"Where's the water dragon, why hasn't it arrived yet?!" Seeing this, the stall head jumped straight to his feet, and finally heard a commotion at the door, and his subordinates shouted excitedly, "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

Yu Qian smiled contemptuously, and he wanted to knock down the blazing furnace. At this time, I saw a eunuch rushing in with a sweat on his head and shouting loudly: "The emperor has an order, everyone withdraws!" ”

"What?!" The stall head and the crowd were stunned, and Yu Qian also stopped his movements and waited to see what happened.

"The emperor has decreed that everyone withdraw!" The eunuch panted and pointed to the stall and said, "Why are you still stunned, waiting for someone to take care of the food?!" ”

"Grandpa Cao, why is this?!" The stall head was familiar with the eunuch, and knew that he was a close person next to the emperor, so he naturally did not suspect him, but he couldn't understand it.

"How can there be so many whys," the eunuch heard this, but became angry: "Let you go, hurry up!" ”

The stall head had no choice but to wave his hand, hang his head and take his subordinates with him, and retreated.

The eunuch glanced at Yu Qian and his wife, and showed a little fear, opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to stomp his feet away.

"Xianggong, why is that?" Seeing that the other party suddenly retreated, Yinling asked strangely.

"It should be the second brother's side, what's the move." Yu Qian smiled knowingly: "Those people don't dare to touch us again." ”

"Really?!" Yinling's face was full of surprise, but he said in disbelief: "Didn't you say that the second brother was trapped in Badaling and it was difficult to fly?" ”

"At the beginning, they said that the second brother went deep into the desert and had no place to be buried." Yu Qian smiled: "I can't figure it out, forget it, lady, I'll have another plate of dumplings......"

Yu Qian's expectation was good, the Qianqing Palace was already shrouded in an atmosphere of bitter fear.

The emperor also celebrated the winter solstice, so today's dinner was also dumplings, but none of the dumplings on the plate in front of Zhu Gaochi had been moved, and they had been completely cold.

But how can it be as cold as the emperor's heart?

Half an hour ago, the hot dumplings were served, and as soon as the emperor was about to eat, Yang Shiqi and Zhu Zhanji hurriedly came to ask for a meeting. Zhu Gaochi was frightened by the repeated bad news, and he hurried to summon him without thinking about it.

Sure enough, the two did not disappoint the emperor, and brought the bad news that made his soul risk.

"Your Majesty, Yang Pu urgently reported that the vanguard of the southward movement was blocked in Shandong, and the canal waterway was cut off!" Yang Shiqi reported with a solemn expression.

Zhu Zhanji was especially disgusted with it, and added: "According to the report of Dongchang, the army of Shandong is assembled in Dezhou, which seems to be a move to return the capital to my father!" ”

Zhu Gaochi couldn't swallow at that time, put down his chopsticks heavily, and his face was full of gloom.

Zhu Zhanji was a little gloating, he was resolutely opposed to returning the capital, and now seeing that the emperor's southward move was blocked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quite happy to see it. Plain clothes comforted the father and said: "Don't worry, father, we just can't return the capital for the time being, when the son has eliminated the threat of Juyong Pass, the first thing to free up his hands is to completely pacify Shandong, and then my father wants to return the capital, naturally unimpeded!" ”

"......" Zhu Gaochi was depressed, and said in his heart that when the time comes, it is not up to me to decide whether he can pay it back. However, he had no choice but to say with a dark face: "How many troops are there in Shandong, will they threaten the Jingshi?" ”

"At the moment, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 troops in Texas, and it is unknown how well they are trained and equipped." Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "But one thing is certain, Wang Xian went out to the grassland and transferred all the generals under his command, and now he is leading in Shandong, but it is his unsuccessful brother Erhei, and then the original White Lotus Sect is the head of the brain, these people are useless, and no matter how good the army is, it is in their hands!" ”

"Don't be careless!" Since he could not run away, Zhu Gaochi naturally paid close attention to Beijing's safety. "Texas is only four hundred miles away, and they must not be allowed to harass Jingshi!"

"The emperor can rest assured, there are still 200,000 troops in Gyeonggi, and King Qin's army will also arrive one after another, and the soldiers and horses in Shandong will not threaten the Beijing Division." Yang Shiqi also reassured the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the dumplings are cold, let's eat first......

"Hey, you can stay and eat together." Zhu Gaochi adjusted his mood, as long as Wang Xian was still trapped in Juyong Pass, everything was acceptable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them had not eaten dinner yet, and they were already hungry, so after thanking them, they sat down and prepared to go.

But this meal was destined to be uneaten, and the three of them had just picked up the dumplings, and before they could send them to their mouths, they saw Yang Rong running in in despair, as if a ghost was chasing after him.

Seeing Yang Rong, who had not changed color in front of the collapse of Mount Tai in Pingsuri, he panicked like this, Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi stopped their chopsticks directly, but Zhu Zhanji was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he stuffed a dumpling into his mouth first.

"Your Majesty, it's not a good thing! Wang Xian led the army to appear in Zhuozhou! Without bothering to salute, Yang Rong shouted loudly.

"What?!" When the three of them heard this, they were like being struck by lightning, and the chopsticks in the hands of Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi fell to the ground one after another, but Zhu Zhanji's chopsticks did not fall to the ground, but the dumplings in his mouth fell to the ground with a chirp.

In the main hall, only the heavy panting sound of the three monarchs and ministers was heard, Zhu Gaochi's face turned pale, and it took a while to come back to his senses, staring at Yang Rong and saying, "How could Wang Xian appear in Zhuozhou?!" Isn't he trapped under Juyong?! Out of utter fear, the Emperor's voice became hoarse and high-pitched, no different from that of the eunuchs who served him.

With a little knowledge of geography, you can understand why the emperor was so afraid. Zhuozhou is in the east of the Yanyun Mountains, only a hundred miles away from the capital, and there is a flat river between them, and there is no barrier at all!

"This ...... The specific situation is still unclear...... "Yang Rong was also full of fear, how could he not calm down, and he spoke with a trill: "I can only speculate that he made a detour through the Bauhinia Pass, broke through the Yanyun defense line, and then went north to the ...... of the Beijing Division"

"How could he run to Bauhinia Pass?!" Yang Shiqi was furious and roared, "What are the defenders of Datong doing to eat?!" ”

Bauhinia Pass is also an important pass on the Yanyun defense line, more than 200 miles away from Juyong Pass, which is the defense area of Datong Town. Just like the main task of Xuanfu Town is to protect the Juyong Pass behind him, the main task of Datong Town is also to protect the Bauhinia Pass behind him.

"Datong's army, wasn't it transferred to Juyong Pass......" Yang Rong glanced at Yang Shiqi, and said in his heart that it was your order!

"......" Yang Shiqi was speechless. At this moment, how could he not understand that Wang Xian was a feint attack at Juyong Pass, grasping the extreme fear of the imperial court, and the army was just for show, so he attracted the Ming army in Xuanda. Then Wang Xian took the opportunity to divide his troops, passed through Datong Town, which was empty of troops, and went straight to Bauhinia Pass!

Although Bauhinia Pass is related to Juyong Pass and Inverted Horse Pass, and is called the inner three passes of the Ming Dynasty, they are all the key places in the mainland. But after all, it is far from the capital, in the eyes of the emperor and ministers, the importance is far from being comparable with the Bauhinia Pass, the gateway of the Beijing Division, although the imperial court has also issued orders one after another, ordering the Bauhinia Pass to strengthen the garrison, and sending additional troops, but whether it is from the pass, or the degree of attention, it is far from being comparable to the Juyong Pass.

With Wang Xian's unpredictable ability, it is not unimaginable to unexpectedly smash the city and break through the Bauhinia Pass in one fell swoop......

It took a long time for Junchen to digest this bad news, and Yang Shiqi asked with a pale face, "How many troops does Wang Xian have by his side?" ”

When Zhu Zhanji's father and son heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears, if the big camp in Badaling was an empty camp, and Wang Xian appeared in Zhuozhou with the main force, then everything would be over......

"No more than 20,000 ...... at most" Fortunately, Yang Rong did not give them a fatal blow. This is also reasonable, there are too many troops, he can't hide his traces at all, and it is impossible to raid Bauhinia Pass. ”

"That's okay......" Yang Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, Wang Xian is no matter how awesome he is, can he still take a mere 20,000 troops to capture Beijing?

"He's taking a risk, and the 20,000 army wants to make waves, so he underestimates us!" Zhu Zhanji also forced himself to calm down.

"He has more than 20,000 troops...... Emperor Hongxi, who has been silent, suddenly said faintly: "Have you forgotten the army in Texas?" ”

"Uh......" Yang Shiqi and Zhu Zhanji are like geese with their necks choked, let alone talking, it is difficult to even breathe.

Now even a fool can see that Shandong's army gathered in Dezhou because it was ordered by Wang Xian and was ready to join him!

It turned out that Wang Xian didn't plan to attack the Beijing division with the army outside the Guan, and the foreshadowing of his stay in Shandong was his killer weapon!

It is said that with such a simple reason, Yang Shiqi and Zhu Zhanji can't wait for the emperor to remind them, but they have been dizzy by Wang Xian's successive clever moves, and they can't think normally......

This is really going to be a big incident, the army in Shandong alone can't set off a big storm, and Wang Xian alone doesn't have enough soldiers and horses, and he can't set off a big storm. But if the two are combined, they can kill them!

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Shousuke!" Seeing that the three of them were stunned one by one, Yang Rong had no choice but to urge: "The top priority is to hurry up and come up with a way!" ”

"What can I do?!"

"What can I do about it?!"

"What can I do?!"

The emperor, the crown prince and Yang Shiqi wailed in unison. (To be continued.) )
