Chapter 260

There was a deathly silence in the tent, and everyone opened their mouths and stared at them like a log, feeling as if there was something wrong with their ears.

"Song Nan, what did you say? I...... Didn't hear clearly. Zhengde was stunned.

"Your Majesty, the beacon fires on the east and west sides have been lit, and the Tartars are attacking Datong Pingwei Tianchengwei and Wanquanwei of Xuanfu, and the shape is extremely critical, please evacuate this place quickly." Song Nan said loudly.

"What?" Zhengde was confirmed by Song Nan again, his body trembled, and his face showed an incredible look.

Shi Wenyi left his seat and asked: "Song Nan, the Tartars are attacking the guards on the east and west sides, we are safe here, is there any sign of the Tartars attacking in the north?" ”

Zhengde hurriedly said: "Yes, is there a Tartar attack at the northern pass?" ”

Song Nan said: "There is no trace of the enemy at present, but this is only a matter of time. ”

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Lord Song, are you too nervous, the Tartars are harassing the border towns all the time, this is also worth making a fuss about?" ”

Song Nan said: "I think the purpose of the Tartars' attack on the East and West Guards is to prevent the guards on both sides from coming to rescue us, and their target is the emperor." ”

"You are all speculating, can you judge by your own judgment that the Tartars will come? In this dark and rainy night, the mountains are steep, and the Tartars can't fly with wings? It's really unfounded. Liu Jin said with a smile.

Zhengde's face returned to normal, and he said gently: "Song Nan, you understand my loyalty very well, but you are probably too tired and too nervous, don't make a fuss, come, drink a glass of wine and slow down." ”

Shi Wenyi said in a weird manner: "Song Nan, have you forgotten that you are no longer responsible for the emperor's guards?" It's better to leave these things to let me and Gonggong Qiu worry about it. ”

Song Nan shouted: "Shut up, the Tartars are coming soon, the emperor is in danger, you still don't think so, the emperor, listen to the minister's words, quickly pull out the camp and go south overnight, there are only a small number of Tartars in the south, it will be safe to defeat them and return to Ulzhou, but you can't delay any longer." ”

Zhengde was taken aback by Song Nan's loud voice, and he had never seen Song Nan so rude in front of him, so he couldn't help but show displeasure.

"Song Nan, you are too presumptuous, this is in front of the emperor, do you want to be disobedient and indulgent like this? Your Majesty, Song Nan's move is really inappropriate, can you indulge him, jump without listening to his advice, how can it be so reasonable. Liu Jin said.

Song Nan looked at Zhengde and begged: "Your Majesty, listen to me once, avoid trouble first, and you can do whatever you do with me afterwards, but this is not the time to be indecisive." ”

Zhengde changed his face and said coldly: "Song Nan, you are too presumptuous, I am too tolerant of you, go out, you need my permission to enter and exit the big tent in the future, otherwise you will not be allowed to come in." ”

Song Nan stood still, shook his head helplessly for a long time, and left the tent with a long sigh.

"I don't know how thick the sky is." Liu Jin's voice came from behind him, Song Nan couldn't wait to pull out the knife and turn around to stab Liu Jin's neck, these people were all dizzy, but they didn't know that the catastrophe was coming.

More than 20 guards outside the tent stood in the rain, and when they saw Song Nan coming out of the big tent, they hurriedly surrounded him and said, "Lord Zhenfu, where to evacuate?" ”

Song Nan said in a low voice: "The emperor doesn't believe my words, and neither do Gonggong Liu, they refuse to evacuate." ”

Wang Yong was stunned and said, "What should I do then?" This is no joke, as soon as the Tartars come, we will not be able to fight back. ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said: "Now I can only bear the head, Brother Wang Yong, I have an important task for you, you must swear to complete it, otherwise we will be finished." ”

Wang Yong straightened his chest and said: "Lord Song, you command, go to the soup and die without giving up." ”

Song Nan said: "You took my letter and went south along the canyon to Ulzhou overnight, and informed Lord Jiang of Ulzhou to lead troops to help, and after arriving in Ulzhou, you have to fly to the northern suburbs of the capital and inform Zhang Lun, the commander of the Fenwu Battalion, to lead troops to help." ”

Wang Yong said: "Isn't it enough for the soldiers and horses in Ulzhou to come to help? ”

Song Nan said: "I Daming alone is Datong Xuanfu two places of soldiers and horses there are tens of thousands, the Tartars dare to move must have gathered troops, the reinforcements on both sides are contained, I am afraid it will be difficult to come to help for a while, it is better to mobilize soldiers and horses from the capital to come quickly, I have already greeted the little grandfather before coming, you want him to select cavalry to give up the infantry to come to help quickly, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

Wang Yong saluted and said, "Obey orders." ”

Song Nan said: "There are Tartars in the south, and the Yangyuan area is the Tartar fortress in my Ming Dynasty, this is difficult, remember, don't be entangled with the Tartars, rescue is your task, you can take two brothers to go together, and there is a helper on the road." ”

Wang Yong said: "Don't need manpower, there should be more manpower here than me, don't worry about the lowly thing, the lowly is just worried about the reinforcements when they arrive...... I'm afraid ......"

Song Nan sighed and said, "Do your best, look at the will of heaven, do your own thing, and don't worry about the rest." ”

Wang Yong nodded, Song Nan quickly returned to the tent, and quickly wrote two letters to Wang Yong in Dai Suer's surprised gaze.

At dawn, a sharp warning horn sounded through the valley, and the guards in charge of guarding in the north blew the horn repeatedly, Liu Jinshi, Wenyi and others were still asleep, so they quickly got up and dressed, and listened to the chaotic shouting and shouting of footsteps in the camp, and the soldiers and horses outside were in chaos.

"What's going on?" Shi Wenyi shouted out of the account.

A guard who rushed back from the north hurriedly said, "Commander Huishi, Tartar soldiers have been found in the valley to the north. ”

Shi Wenyi was so frightened that he was cold, and said loudly: "How many people." ”

"No...... I don't know. ”

"Idiot, why don't you know how many soldiers and horses, what do you look like?"

"Too ...... There are too many, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands. ”

"Tens of thousands ......!" Shi Wenyi felt like his whole body was drenched by a basin of cold water, and he felt that his body was not his own, so he was stunned for a long time, and stumbled towards the big tent.

Zhengde had already hurriedly dressed in the big tent, Liu Jin was trembling and combing Zhengde's hair, Zhengde asked with a pale face: "The Tartar soldiers are really here?" ”

Liu Jin said: "The slave maid also got the exact news, and she will ask Shi Wenyi and Qiu Ju later." ”

Zhengde stepped out of the big tent in three steps and two steps, Shi Wenyi and Qiu Juzheng hurried over, and Zhengde said: "What is the situation?" ”

Shi Wenyi trembled his lips and said: "Tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers are coming, the emperor hurriedly got on his horse, and the ministers and others escorted the emperor to evacuate south." ”

Zhengde's eyes straightened, and he muttered: "Tens of thousands? Song Nan's judgment was right. ”

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "What are you still doing?" Hurry up and prepare the horse and escort the emperor to the south. ”

Zhengde shouted: "And the imperial sister, the imperial sister will also follow me." ”

Liu Jin said: "Yes, the emperor is not panicking, he has already ordered someone to invite the princess." ”

Zhengde licked his lips and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

"There's no need to invite the princess, the minister has already settled down." A person shouted loudly, and then rode at a gallop, standing alone in front of Zhengde, and the sewage splashed by the horse's hooves sprinkled Zhengde Liu Jin and Shi Wenyi and others on their faces.

"Song Nan!" Zhengde wiped the muddy water on his face and said happily: "Quickly protect me away." ”

Song Nan's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse: "Your Majesty, you can't leave, it's too late." ”

Zhengde was stunned and said, "What? How far is the Tartar? ”

Song Nan said: "The Tartars are five or six miles away, and at this moment, there are interceptions in front of the south and chasing soldiers in the back, how can they escape the pursuit of the Tartar cavalry." ”

"What then?" Zhengde, Liu Jinshi, Wenyi, Qiu Ju and others almost spoke in unison.

Song Nan sighed secretly and looked at the four people in front of him, and suddenly turned his head and shouted at the Fanzi and Jinyi Wei generals who were running in a panic in the camp: "Stop it for me, whoever collides again will be killed immediately; The chief of the 100 household banners who led the team quickly formed the team and listened to my orders. ”

Someone was still running around, Song Nan immediately went up, took out the embroidered spring knife and slashed it at the head of a fanzi, poof, the body fell to the ground, and the blood gushed all over the ground.

Everyone was petrified, looked at Song Nan dumbfounded, and said Zhengde: "Song Nan, you ......"

Song Nan turned his head and said: "Don't be afraid, how to protect the emperor's safety when the enemy is currently suffering in such a chaotic situation, military law should be used at this time; Where is Wanzhi? ”

Wan Zhi came over and said loudly: "Humble duty." ”

"Immediately escort the emperor to Xinping Fort with twenty officers with knives."

Wan Zhi promised loudly, came to Zhengde and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are here to escort, and the emperor please get on the horse." ”

Seeing that Zhengde was escorted to Xinping Fort, Song Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and issued a series of orders, forming a team of more than 200 panicked soldiers, carrying the necessary materials and quickly entering Xinping Fort, Liu Jin also climbed up the hill and entered Xinping Fort with the support of Qiu Ju and Shi Wenyi.

In the fort, Song Nan shouted loudly and ordered people to temporarily carry the mud from the dead trees to several damaged walls for temporary repair.

"Your Majesty, the princess is at the top of the beacon tower, which is the safest place at present, the emperor will go up first, and the ministers will be deployed below."

Zhengde looked up, and the rain and fog at the top were dizzy and dizzy.

Song Nan knew that Zhengde would definitely not be able to climb up, so he ordered someone to put down the bamboo basket from the top of the beacon tower, pulled Zhengde to the top, and Zhengde stood on the bamboo basket and shouted: "Sister Huang, Sister Huang, are you there?" ”

In a simple tent in the middle of the open space, there was a humane: "Your Majesty, I am here." With a flower in front of her, Princess Kangning rushed out of the tent and hugged Zhengde tightly.

Zhengde settled down a little in his heart and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, when did you come up?" ”

Kang Ning said: "I came up in the middle of the night, Song Nan sent someone to take me here in the middle of the night, saying that the Tartar soldiers were coming, he took people to set up a tent on the top of the peak overnight, made a wheel, brought up a lot of dry food and water, and was busy all night without sleeping. ”

Zhengde looked at Yiqiē in front of him, felt guilty in his heart, and sighed: "I'm confused, I didn't listen to Song Nan's words, Tartar really came." ”

Kang Ning comforted: "Don't worry, the emperor, Song Nan said that the Tartar soldiers on the top of this beacon tower can't attack it." ”

Zhengde was a little relieved, but fortunately, Song Nan was thoughtful and found this place, which can be regarded as safe for the time being, but I don't know what to do next.

Just thinking about it, he only heard the horn around him sound in his ears, and Zhengde came to the edge to look down, and this look was terrifying.

At this moment, Xinping Fort was surrounded by dense Tartar soldiers, and from above and down, the Tartar soldiers were as numerous as ants, slowly climbing from the surrounding hillsides.
