Whether the peak can bear the 60th section switch (below)

On the sixth day of the eleventh month of the first year of Chongzhen, he was a teacher in Beijing

The day after Ma Shilong was released from prison, he rushed to visit Sun Chengzong. After he entered the door, he saw Sun Chengzong personally come out to greet him, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Elder Ge, the sin will give you a salute." ”

"Please get up, Shilong, please get up. Sun Chengzong grabbed Ma Shilong from the ground and stared at him with a smile for a while: "Don't say more, Shilong hurry up and come in with the old man." ”

Sun Chengzong took Ma Shilong with one hand and walked into the house. Ma Shilong was a little embarrassed, and murmured behind Sun Chengzong's back: "Elder Ge, the sin will be offended a lot before, and I ask Elder Ge to forgive me." ”

"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, Shilong, you just remember the lesson, you don't have to worry about the things in the court in the future, the generals, or rely on winning the battle, speaking with your own ability is the right way." ”

"The elder of the pavilion taught that sin will be remembered in mind. Ma Shilong suffered a lot of sins this time, sat in prison for more than a year, and was almost beheaded, and he became emaciated.

After Sun Chengzong took Ma Shilong into the house, he briefly explained the current situation, and then said calmly: "Shilong, in your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

When Ma Shilong was released yesterday, he heard that it was Sun Chengzong who protected him, and he also knew what Sun Chengzong was looking for him, so Ma Shilong also made a little preparation before coming. However, Ma Shilong still didn't know a lot of confidential military information in advance, and now after Sun Chengzong told him, Ma Shilong thought for a moment before replying: "Ge Lao, in the opinion of the last general." When concentrating forces to hold Jizhou and Sanhe as the first priority, Tongzhou is still second. ”

"Well, let's talk about it. ”

"It is proper for the old pavilion to divide troops to guard Tongzhou, Sanhe, and Jizhou, but now the reinforcements have not yet arrived, and the officers and soldiers are still small, and the most important thing for us is to block the Jiannu army in Jidong, and then guard the various ferries around Sanhe. In case a small group of Jiannu rode around. Ma Shilong found that the current army that could be mobilized was much smaller than he thought, and he couldn't help but be a little impatient. couldn't help but ask: "Elder Ge, guarding Liao must guard thistle, this Qi Shuai has set the law, why is Jizhen so weakened now?"

Take the house as an analogy, Shanhaiguan is the door, the West Liaoning Corridor is the long hall in front of the door, and Ningyuan and Jinzhou are the gateways in the West Liaoning Corridor. And thistle is the wall of this house. If Jizhen collapses, then Shanhaiguan will just be a broken door, and the Liaoxi Corridor will become a lone army hanging outside the country.

Now there are 115,000 horses and horses outside the Guanwai Army, and Jizhen is only 40,000, and they are all old and weak, and the elite have been transferred to Liaozhen. Ma Shilong sighed: "If Jizhen is lost, then what if it is to defend the land outside the Guan? ”

Sun Chengzong also has some views on this. He himself is the main supporter of guarding Liao and guarding Jidi, if Jizhen is broken, then the role of Shanhaiguan itself will be greatly affected, not to mention Ningyuan and other places in front. However, this involves many factors, among which it is not only a military issue, and there was endless debate in the temple when Jinzhou was abandoned. Behind the civilian officials, there is also a faint influence on the distribution of military salaries.

Now that Liaozhen's military salary has risen to five million taels a year, Sun Chengzong naturally knows that the water here is very deep, and a small move will affect the interests of countless people, so Sun Chengzong is not willing to tell Ma Shilongming that he can naturally understand this kind of thing when he goes back and thinks about it himself: "Shilong thinks that Jimen should be the first priority?"

"Pavilion Lao Mingjian, Jimen chokes the northeast into Beijing, controls the Central Plains and the dangerous plug on the dam, this is the place where the soldiers must fight, Jiannu must not peep into the south here, I must not go north here. Whether it's defending now. Or will the Qin Wang's army be so big that we can't lose the thistle. "Ma Shilong knows that Gyeonggi is now overstretched. Therefore, he wanted to concentrate his forces between Jizhen and Sanhe, and firmly block the Houjin army in Jidong.

"Shilong said that the land and the old man's intentions are secretly in agreement, but if the slave house thistle gate goes west, what should it do?"

As long as the officers and soldiers move outside the city, they can firmly block the road for Jiannu to move westward, and even if Jiannu can force a few rangers to cross, then where will their food and grass come from? How can they plunder and return to the east? The last general said that the purpose of setting up a military station in Sanhe and strictly guarding the ferry is to prevent Jiannu's rangers from wandering. ”

There is a big lake in the east of Jizhou, or the intersection of Panshan, Jiulong Mountain and Baxian Mountain, Yanshan Mountain Range seems to have twisted a pimple here, only a thin passage portal is left in Jizhou, so this place is also called Jimen, and it is called the key of Jidong. The passage winds its way through the Yanshan Ridge, and at its narrowest point, it can only accommodate two horses side by side. When traveling on the road, people are flanked by the towering and tall Yan Mountain, and only a blue sky can be faintly seen overhead, so this place is also known as the "first line of heaven", and it is the last natural gateway to the Gyeonggi Plain.

"Shilong would like to follow the old man's majesty and say these words again in front of the saint?"

Ma Shilong leaned over and hugged his fists, and said gratefully: "The grace of the elder pavilion will not be forgotten in the end." ”

"Hehe, that's fine. ”

Sun Chengzong and Ma Shilong immediately entered the palace to face the saint, Chongzhen had already ordered Sun Chengzong to preside over the defense of Gyeonggi, he reaffirmed Sun Chengzong's planning, and ordered the Gyeonggi Ming army to run Jimen with all its might, and to defend the first line of Sanhe as a priority.

On the seventh day of the first month, Yuan Chonghuan, a favorite of Emperor Chongzhen, had arrived in Xianghe, and the Son of Heaven was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately relieved Sun Chengzong of his command, and issued a holy decree to let Yuan Chonghuan unify the command of King Qin's army. Yuan Chonghuan was originally the commander of Jiliao, and with this new appointment, the entire Gyeonggi region was under his command.

Yuan Chonghuan led the order to thank the commander of the army to Jimen, and at the same time gave an explanation of the tragedy of Zhao Shujiao.

At first, Yuan Chonghuan flatly denied that he had given an order to Zhao Shujiao, and he insisted that Zhao Shujiao went to Zunhua "in accordance with the holy decree of King Qin", but there was no second person to corroborate this holy decree, and it could not explain why Zhao Shujiao did not go to King Qinwang in Beijing, but went to King Zunhua Qin.

Except for Yuan Chonghuan himself, all witness records indicate that Yuan Chonghuan gave the order to Zhao Shujiao. Zhao Shujiao was the starting point of Yuan Chonghuan's command. Even Zhou Wenyu, Yuan Chonghuan's own confidant, admitted that it was Yuan Chonghuan who issued a general order to Shanhaiguan, "Shilling Zhao Zongbing led the teaching institute to aid Zunhua (Zunhua); Fei Yu Zu's general army was shou, and the Liao soldiers were streamlined to help". Moreover, Zhou Wenyu also proved that Yuan Chonghuan was not in Ningyuan when he gave the order to Zhao Shujiao, and as early as before the 27th of Houjin began to attack Xifengkou, Yuan Chonghuan left Ningyuan's camp in advance on the 24th and moved in the direction of Shanhaiguan, so he could send an order to Zhao Shujiao in Shanhaiguan from Qiantun at the first moment.

Later, Yuan Chonghuan slightly revised his testimony, justifying that he asked Zhao to teach not to underestimate the enemy. However, Zhao Shujiao did not listen to his good words and died. At the same time, Yuan Chonghuan also put the responsibility on Zhu Zongbing, who had died in battle, saying that he heard that Zhu Zongbing did not seem to let Zhao Shujiao enter the city from hundreds of miles away.

Since Zhao and Zhu are dead, there is no proof. Naturally, the emperor could not hold him accountable at this juncture.

Yuan Chonghuan went to Jimen with a total of 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry, Yuan Chonghuan's army entered Jizhou in the ninth month, and took over the command of Jimen from Liu Ce/After these days, the Jin army was blocked by the Ming army in Jidong, and it has not been able to go further west.

"Lord Liu, you immediately lead your troops to Miyun to garrison. ”

Liu Ce was stunned when he heard this order, and it took him a long time before he reacted: "Supervisor, Jianyu is camping twenty miles east of the city. Why do you want to go to Miyun?"

"Lord Liu, you are the Prime Minister of Jiliao, and the residence of Prime Minister Jiliao is in Miyun, so the headquarters asked you to return to the garrison for defense. ”

Since Liu Ce was appointed as the prime minister of Jiliao seven months ago, Yuan Chonghuan did not allow him to interfere in any military affairs in Jizhen, so Liu Ce has been staying in Zhending Town for the past seven months and has never set foot in Jizhen. The imperial court saw that Liu Ce was too leisurely, and gave him the position of governor of Baoding, so Liu Ce simply stayed in Zhending Town to manage the military affairs there.

This time, after Kim entered the Kou. The imperial court blamed Liu Ce for hiding in the rear, but Liu Ce hurriedly lit up the army of Zhending Town, King Qin, who had only stepped into the boundary of Jizhen for the first time two days ago.

When Liu Ce passed by Jingshi, Sun Chengzong told him that the emperor was very dissatisfied with Liu Ce, and felt that he had been hiding in the safe rear and not taking office, and Liu Ce was surprised when he heard it. hurriedly asked Sun Chengzong to say a few good words on his behalf, and Sun Chengzong asked him to come to Jimen in the starry night to make up for his mistakes.

In the past few days, Liu Ce has led the army of Zhending Town to carefully deploy and block the Houjin army to the east of Jimen, and he felt a little complacent in his heart, feeling that his meritorious service this time is not small.

So after hearing Yuan Chonghuan's order, Liu Ce couldn't help but argue: "Supervisor, it was Sun Ge Lao who ordered the lower officials to stick to Jimen. Sun Ge Lao said that Jimen must not be lost. ”

"How could Jimen fail? The headquarters brought 20,000 Guan Ning troops this time. Naturally, this thistle gate can be guarded as solid, and Lord Liu set off quickly. Let's go to Miyun. ”

"Supervisor, Sun Ge said that the defense of Jimen and Sanhe should be the first priority," Liu Ce was still a little uneasy, so he said again: "With the supervisor here, Jimen is naturally as safe as Mount Tai, so the next official is willing to go to Sanhe to stay for the supervisor." ”

"Although Lord Liu can rest assured, the headquarters will also send people to defend Sanhe. Seeing that Liu Ce was still arguing, Yuan Chonghuan said angrily: "The headquarters is the Jiliao Governor, and how to deploy this Jizhen is naturally decided by the headquarters in a word; In addition, the Holy Lord wants the headquarters to command the soldiers and horses of King Qin, and the Zhending army commanded by Lord Liu is naturally under the control of the headquarters, Lord Liu, do you listen to the headquarters or listen to Sun Gelao?"

Liu Ce reluctantly agreed, and then asked, "I don't know when the superintendent will leave." ”

"Set off immediately, immediately go to Miyun to set up defenses, and prevent Xilu from taking the opportunity to make trouble. ”

"Yes. Liu Ce was unable to confront Jiliao's commander, so he immediately packed his bags and led the Zhending Army and Jimen's original garrison troops to leave.

Before leaving, he took one last look in the direction of the enemy formation, and the Houjin army from Zunhua was already in sight, and they were twenty miles east of the city, and the camp tent could be faintly seen.

"Is Inspector Yuan afraid that I will share the credit? But this credit is obviously mine, and I came from Baoding with all my hard work to block Jianyu here. Liu Ce walked down the city sadly, led the Zhending army out of the west gate with his head down, and left with his back to the Houjin army. A hundred miles away is Tongzhou, where Liu Ce would turn around and head north, away from Jingshi.

It takes another 140 miles from Tongzhou to Miyun. Liu Ce's heart was unbalanced at the thought of having to go so far, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, and he almost shed tears of grievance: "I'm really unwilling, this credit is obviously mine." ”

The unlucky Liu Ce didn't know that his loss of the land would not only be a credit, and soon the Jin army would go straight from Jimen into the Gyeonggi Plain and approach the city of Jingshi. When the Ming court later pursued responsibility, it found that Liu Ce was guilty of two crimes; As the prime minister of Jiliao, he let Houjin break through Jizhen. did not listen to Sun Chengzong's order to give up Jimen and Sanhe without authorization.

After Liu Ce was imprisoned, he argued vigorously, saying that he had not been to Jizhen for a day beforehand. From beginning to end, he was the governor of Baoding, and after the Jin army broke through, Liu Ce was the first to lead the Qinwang army to Jizhen, so Liu Ce felt that he should not be guilty. However, the imperial court did not approve of Liu Cedi's explanation, because he was afraid of Yuan Chonghuan and did not go to Jizhen Miyun to take office, which was a dereliction of duty, so it could not be used as a reason to exonerate himself.

A few months later, Liu Ce was sentenced to be executed, and when he heard that the sentence had been pronounced against him, Liu Ce cried even more, and told the trial officer: "I have a warrant from the Jiliao Governor." I have a warrant, leaving Jimen and Sanhe to go to Miyun is to act on orders, should I also die if I act on orders?"

......

On the same day, Tongzhou

A messenger also arrived in the barracks of You Shiwei, the commander of Changzhen.

While handing over an order to You Shiwei, the envoy said quickly: "Xiaguan Cheng Zhiben, this is the warrant of the Jiliao Governor, and I want General You to set off immediately and go to Changping." ”

You Shiwei carefully checked the warrant. Confirming that it was the warrant of the Jiliao Governor, he hesitated and asked the envoy: "Jianyu is in the east, why do you want to go to the west?"

Cheng Zhiben replied without hesitation: "The general is the general of Changzhen, and it is naturally the general's duty to defend the Changping Imperial Mausoleum." ”

After lowering his head and reading the warrant carefully, You Shiwei questioned again: "Master Cheng, the last general will guard Tongzhou here." Jianyu is in front, Jingshi and Changping are behind, this is also the place where Sun Ge Lao confessed. ”

Cheng Zhiben became impatient: "I don't know about this lower official, but this is the order of the Jiliao Governor, Tongzhou is subordinate to Jizhen, and the Jiliao Governor has his own arrangements, so there is no need for the general to worry about it." ”

"Is it better to wait for the Jiliao Governor to send troops to pick up Tongzhou, and then the general will leave?"

Cheng Zhiben shouted and asked: "General You, although you are not a military general of Jizhen, the Holy Lord has already issued an order that the army of King Qin will all be controlled by the Jiliao Governor. DID YOU KNOW?"

You Shiwei replied in a low voice, "The last general knows. ”

"Then let's go. The lower officials also have to go back to Jizhou to return to Jiliao to supervise the division, if General You has nothing else to do. The subordinate took his leave. ”

"Master Cheng, please. ”

"Then please let the general go as soon as possible. Cheng Zhiben hurriedly returned the salute, flicked his sleeves and walked out, and left the barracks directly.

After Cheng Zhiben walked away, You Shiwei asked the master beside him: "Who is this person, a seventh-grade petty official is so rude." ”

"The proprietor said cautiously, this person is the confidant of Jiliao Governor. "The master usually collects the intelligence of many big people, this time You Shiwei came to Tongzhou on the order of Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan rushed back to take over the command of the whole army, his master will naturally inquire about the information of the people around Yuan Chonghuan, this Cheng Zhi is a popular person around Yuan Chonghuan, so the master quickly asked You Shiwei to pay attention to his words.

"This Master Cheng didn't even get into Xiucai, he was just a child. But after he hugged Jiliao Inspector's thigh, he was soon awarded an official, and he always gave advice to Jiliao Supervisor, and he also regarded himself as a protégé of Jiliao Supervisor. Cheng Zhiben did not go through the imperial examination, so it was impossible to become an official, but he went to see Yuan Chonghuan several times, and after being rejected three times in a row, he finally succeeded in asking for a meeting, and since then he has become a member of the Shandong Political Division.

After that, Cheng Zhiben has always regarded himself as a student of Yuan Chonghuan, and how to enter and exit Biyun's "My Teacher", and soon became one of Yuan Chonghuan's confidants, and usually accepted a lot of monetary gifts from Yuan Chonghuan.

"It turned out to be a fool," You Shiwei snorted. However, regardless of whether Cheng Zhiben has taken the Xiucai exam or not, he is now a civil official, and he is also the confidant of his top boss: "Zhun Ben will leave the camp, and we will go back to Changping." ”

After You Shiwei announced this order, there was also an uproar in his military camp:

"Back to Changping?"

The generals were all surprised. They asked, "We just came from Changping, why do we have to go back?"

"This is the order of the Jiliao Governor, and we are strictly ordered to set off immediately without delay. ”

Listening to the words of General You Shiwei, the officers and soldiers of Xuanzhen were suddenly speechless. They have also heard of Yuan Chonghuan's unreasonable reputation, and he also said that he would kill the minister of Yipin, and the emperor would not pursue it afterwards.

Beginning 10. The Ming army stationed in Tongzhou was ordered to abandon the Tongzhou defense line and follow the route they had just come from to the west to return to Beijing. Then he left the Beijing Division and went parallel to the northwest of the Beijing Division.

At the same time when all the Qinwang troops were transferred from Jizhou, Tongzhou, and Jingshi, Yuan Chonghuan wrote to the emperor again, so that Chongzhen did not have to worry about the situation in Jizhen at all, "...... Enter Jizhou to rest for a while, carefully investigate the situation, and strictly prepare for the sentry. If you are fighting hard, you will not let the enemy cross the thistle!"

After seeing Yuan Chonghuan's promise that he would not let the enemy cross Jixi one step, Chongzhen believed that the overall situation had been completely stabilized, and he immediately wrote back to Yuan Chonghuan: "Youqing is like this, why worry about me?"

......

November 10, 2nd year of Chongzhen, Dengzhou,

"Yesterday, news came from the Beijing Division, and Jiannu was happy that the peak mouth was broken and trapped. The emperor ordered the king of the world. ”

The generals in front of Huang Shi all looked serious, and everyone didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, and Zhen Yucun on Huang Shi's side was also full of anxiety, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were bent and stretched uneasily.

"Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the Guo Dynasty has not heard of such a thing for decades, and it actually allowed the Northern Captives to break through the border wall. Threatens the Gyeonggi hinterland. ”

The Jiajing Dynasty broke the border with Mongolia and was also provoked by the officials of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Qiu Luan thought that the Mongols were committed to the border in order to grab things, and as long as they gave enough things, they would naturally not come to rob them, so Qiu Luan always pursued the policy of door-to-door delivery, and the Mongols would give rice if they wanted rice, and the Mongols would give him cloth if they wanted cloth, and later the Mongols asked for armor and weapons, and Qiu Luan even gave them! As a result, the Mongols invaded on a large scale and sent troops to attack Beijing.

"The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, pass on my general's order, and the Funing army will immediately set off as a whole army. Landed in Tianjin. Then go straight to Beijing Qinwang. Huang Shihu looked at his subordinates with a face, and shouted, "Gentlemen." We're going to send Jianyu back to our hometown. ”

The officers of the Funing Army threw their arms together and shouted: "We will beat them back to their hometown!"

After Huangshi gave the order to prepare for departure, suddenly the guards outside reported that two Dengzhou soldiers asked to see him. The internal guards didn't want the two of them to meet, but they said that they were former Dongjiang soldiers, and they didn't want to leave because they were holding Huangshi's Yuanmen.

After hearing that it was a soldier from the Dongjiang headquarters, Huang Shi decided to meet him after a little groaning. After Mao Wenlong was killed, Huangshi sent people to Beijing to meet Mao Chengdou and gave him a memorial gift, and Huangshi had a lot of affection for Mao Wenlong and his subordinates. Anyway, there is still a little time now, and Huang Shi asked the internal guards to bring people in, and on the other hand, he asked people to prepare a few pieces of broken silver.

It was Bai Youcai and Sun Ergou who came in. They were originally grain transporters outside Dengzhou, and when they returned to Dengzhou yesterday, they happened to see Huangshi's snake flag, and the two of them had seen Huangshi's banner when they were in the battlefield of Haizhou, and they had also seen Huangshi's face among the ten thousand troops, and when they saw the white feather soldiers in the camp, they were even more convinced that this was Huangshi's troops, so they hurried to ask for a meeting.

The two of them originally came to ask each other for something this time, but when Bai Youcai saw the hole on the ground of Huangshi after entering the tent, he blurted out and asked loudly: "Huang Shuai, are you back to counterattack Liaodong, right?"

After hearing this, Sun Ergou was also stunned for a while. Although the two brothers fled to Dongjiang Island, they still wanted to follow Mao Wenlong back to the mainland again. After Mao Wenlong was killed, the Dongjiang Army began to lose heart. Later, Yuan Chonghuan wanted to reduce the Dongjiang Army, and Chen Jisheng was unable to maintain the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Liao people, so he persuaded his generals to take their subordinates and people to Dengzhou, Shandong.

As soon as this order came out, everyone didn't say it, but they all knew in their hearts that once they set foot on the ship to Shandong, they might not have the opportunity to return to their hometown in this life. So gradually some people began to flee, and everyone knew very well where these people fled, but the words of scolding only swirled around their mouths, and they all felt that they could not scold very reasonably.

However, Chen Jisheng is also a native of Dongjiang, and he is also known as a prestige in the Dongjiang Army, and most of the soldiers finally chose to stay with him. While some other military families stepped on the sea ship and followed the commander to the strange land of Shandong. Bai Youcai and Sun Ergou followed General Pan to the boat. Came to Dengzhou, Shandong to ask for a living.

"Huang Shuai, we want to follow you to counterattack Liaodong. ”

Looking at the eager anticipation on the faces of the two people, Huang Shi felt a heavy heart: "Yes, I came back to fight Jiannu." ”

Both of them showed relaxed and happy expressions on their faces, and after a moment of relaxation and excitement, Bai Youcai suddenly cried bitterly: "Huang Shuai, Mao Dashuai...... The big marshal is gone. Mao Dashuai is gone. ”

Sun Ergou's joy just now disappeared suddenly, and he was also sad when he heard Bai Youcai's cry. Fudi cried bitterly: "Huang Shuai, Mao Dashuai has saved the lives of so many people, but the emperor does not avenge the marshal, and allows the villain to wronged the marshal and us." ”

......

After the two brothers calmed down a bit, Huang Shi knew that they still had one more thing to ask for their help, that Pan Shen General led more than 10,000 Liao people to live in Dengzhou, but Pan Shen General was arrested again a few days ago. said that he was going to rebel.

Bai Youcai quickly brought in Ma Ding, the former captain of General Pan's personal army. Ma Ding was also pleasantly surprised when he saw Huang Shi: "Huang Dashuai, with you presiding over the great cause of Pingliao, the counterattack on Liaodong will be just around the corner." ”

Huang Shi smiled and asked Ma Ding to tell him what had happened. Huang Shi had long known that Pan Shenjiang would be a person from Shandong, but he didn't know that Pan Shenjiang was once a fugitive slave from a family in Shandong, and after Pan Shenjiang was promoted to Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong felt that this person was honest and honest, so he sent him back to Dengzhou twice to escort grain and grass.

During this period, Pan Shen went to meet his acquaintances. But now that he is a dignified general, the old man in the past naturally can't do anything to him. Since General Pan Shen was ordered to escort grain and grass, he naturally thought about Dongjiang Town wholeheartedly, and he admitted to death and said that he did not agree to Dengzhou's deduction of grain and grass in Dongjiang Town, so he fell into a reputation as a domineering among civil officials.

After Mao Wenlong's death. General Pan brought tens of thousands of brothers to Dengzhou, but he still had an upright temper, and every time he fought for food, he refused to go along with corrupt officials, so he was hated by several officials in Dengzhou. In the end, the officials of Dengzhou Military Preparation Road took advantage of the topic to play, since Yuan Chonghuan said that Mao Wenlong had the intention of attacking Shandong, then Pan Shen came to Shandong twice to reconnoiter the terrain, and this person was originally a fugitive slave from the Juzi family, and his bad conduct was bad, so he asked the imperial court to deprive General Pan of his official reputation. Sentenced to prison for his crimes.

Both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Justice approved the impeachment of the Shandong Political Division. Those dog officials sent General Pan to prison, and asked Huang Shuai to save General Pan's life. Ma Ding finished telling the story. His face was already full of resentment.

Bai Youcai and Sun Ergou also pleaded in unison: "Dare to ask Huang Shuai to save General Pan's life." ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to me, I'll go and tell the prefect of Dengzhou, he should give me a face. Huang Shi still has some impressions of the always smiling General Pan, the "Pan fool" in the mouths of Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde is an honest man, and Huang Shi feels that he can't watch him be unjustly killed.

......

"The subordinate really doesn't know about this Pan Yidao matter, and this case is not handled by this official. However, with Huang Shuai as a guarantor, the lower official must have misunderstood. Zhen Yucun was very happy, he checked the case file, and found that General Pan had not been convicted, so he casually approved a note, asking the people below to find a reason to close the case and let Pan Yidao out: "Since it is Huang Shuai's friend, then you can send someone to pick it up today, and Huang Shuai doesn't have to worry about the aftermath later, Xia Guan will definitely ask in person." ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhen. ”

Huang Shuai was polite, and he raised his hand. ”

After Huang Shi came out, he handed over the strip to Ma Ding, who was very grateful, and told them that he would go to see Pan Yidao before leaving, as for this time, Qinwang Huang Shi would not take a few of them away.

After receiving King Qin's order, Zhen Yucun felt that Huangshi would definitely be able to make meritorious contributions this time, so he also wanted to win a credit. In the past few days, Zhenyu Village has almost turned the Dengzhou Treasury upside down, and the overall efficiency is much higher than that of previous days, and it quickly scraped together food for Huangshi to feed 15,000 troops for ten days.

Huang Shi felt that this food was enough for the time being, and he could get supplies from the place after he landed. However, until now, some of the ships of the Selective Battalion have not yet arrived, and some of the troops have just landed and cannot be immediately put into battle. Huangshi decided to let the fire battalion and most of the Rock Battalion set off first, and the subsequent troops could follow slowly.

In addition to the question of where the tactics of the troops are deployed. Another important issue Huang Shi was concerned about the secrecy of information, and he hoped to give Huang Taiji a "surprise". From the opponent's point of view, the Funing Army could not appear on the frontal battlefield for a month and a half to two months, so Huang Shi believed that Huang Taiji did not count himself at all.

Both Jin Qiude and the staff officers believed that it was unlikely that Huang Taiji knew that Huangshi had arrived in Shandong. Because Huangshi did not come to Shandong to fight, it seemed that it was just an unexpected stop and supply, and this kind of Tang newspaper belonged to the lowest-priority imperial court letter, and it went up from the first level of the Shandong Political Division. It's not surprising that it took two months to arrive in Beijing.

Now that Houjin has broken into the Koukou, the network of post stations in the Gyeonggi area is probably used to transmit emergency military information. It is estimated that all kinds of urgent reports are all over the day, and low-level Tang newspapers like Huangshi will definitely be backlogged, so the General Staff Department thinks that no one will notice that they have quietly come to the Funing Army in Shandong for a while.

The judgment of the General Staff Division was very convincing, and Huang Shi believed that the appearance of his army would definitely surprise Huang Taiji, and the appearance of Huang Taiji in shock gave him great pleasure; I'd love to see the look on his face when he first saw the snake flag, it would have been very interesting. ”

Huangshi has made up his mind to set off early tomorrow morning for the fire camp and part of the rock camp. It will land on the inner side of Bohai Bay within five days, and the rest of the Panshi Battalion and the Xuanfeng Battalion will also catch up with the main force as quickly as possible. The General Staff Department has already begun to work on this strategic determination of Huangshi, and this time Huangshi is marching on the ground of his own people, and reconnaissance should not be too much of a problem.

However, the speed of the march also has a lot to do with the supply situation, Huang Shi still intends to pursue the policy of carrots and sticks to force the local government to compromise, he has the sword of Shang Fang and the silver arrow in his hand, and the local officials below the prefect are not his opponents if they are tough. And if they cooperate well, Huangshi doesn't mind sharing some of their credit. Come to think of it, these people can still distinguish between the interests and the disadvantages. Since supplies could be obtained from local military stations, Huangshi ordered that the speed of the march should be raised by a notch, and that the forced march should reach more than 60 li a day on the official roads, and even more than 80 li in the plains.

After deploying the military situation, Huang Shi took a few guards to see Pan Yidao, and he estimated that Pan Yidao had that temper. It is likely that he suffered a lot in prison, so he also asked the guards to bring a special wound medicine from Funing Town, as well as two live chickens and some supplements.

After walking to the door of Ma Ding's tent, Huang Shi greeted Bai Youcai at the door with a smile, but Bai Youcai's expression was unusually serious, he leaned over and hugged his fists, without the slightest joy on his face: "Huang Shuai!"

Huang Shi glanced at the few people standing at the door, all of them had their faces tightened, without the slightest smile. Huang Shi put away the smile on his face and walked quickly to the door of the tent and stopped. Huang Shi took a deep breath and walked into the tent.

Ma Ding stood up and bowed to Huang Shi: "Huang Shuai." ”

Huangshi was in no mood to return the favor. He walked slowly to the bed and stared blankly for a moment. Then he bent down and whispered in the ear of General Pan, "Brother Pan." ”

"Huang Shuai, General Pan can't hear it anymore. Ma Ding's deep voice sounded behind Huangshi.

Huang Shi stretched out his hand to touch General Pan's forehead, but stopped when he was about to touch his head, Huang Shi took a breath, stood up straight and asked without looking back: "Brother Ma, what the hell is going on?"

"Back to Huang Shuai, our brothers have already inquired. Ma Ding's voice trembled slightly. After they brought General Pan back today, the brothers in the whole battalion were angry, and the dungeons of Dengzhou Mansion didn't want to get into trouble, so they told them what happened to Pan, but they kept emphasizing that it was the officials of the military garrison and had nothing to do with them.

“...... Those dog officials want to force General Pan to admit that it is fake that he came to Dengzhou to supervise the grain, and it is true to scout the terrain for Mao Dashuai, of course General Pan will not betray Mao Dashuai, those dog officials said...... Those dog officials said that the emperor recognized that Yuan was a dog thief who did the right thing and did a good job, and they asked General Pan if he wanted to overturn the emperor's case......

Huang Shi looked at Pan Yidao, who was covered in bruises and half-dead on the bed, and asked softly, "Brother Pan has always spoken upright, he probably said something unpleasant, right?"

"Huang Shuai Mingjian, what will General Pan say? General Pan is one sentence over and over again; Mao Shuai was wronged'. As a result, the dog officers broke General Pan's eyes and stabbed him in the ear. But...... But even so, General Pan kept shouting 'Mao Shuai was wronged', and the result was ...... As a result, the dog officers also cut off General Pan's tongue. ”

Huang Shi slowly knelt down on one knee beside General Pan's bed and gently straightened the hair on his forehead. Pan Yidao, who had been quiet, suddenly woke up from his sleep, grabbed Huang Shi's arm vigorously, and desperately made a muffled sound, Huang Shi listened carefully for a while. Only then could I tell what Pan Yidao had been shouting:

"Mao ...... Handsome...... Injustice...... Ah, Mao ...... Handsome...... Wronged. ”

Pan Yidao's sturdy body has become thin. It seemed as if it would shatter at the slightest touch, but his hand holding Huangshi was still as powerful as when he was digging the city wall of Haizhou: "Mao...... Handsome...... Wronged, Mao Shuai...... Wronged. ”

Huang Shi pursed his lips tightly without saying a word, he only felt his chest rise and fall more and more rapidly, and with every breath he felt something hot rushing out of his body.

"General Pan can't see or hear, and we can't make him understand that he has been rescued. We've had several doctors look at it. The doctor asked us to prepare for the future, saying that it would be these two days. ”

Huang Shi struggled to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "Brother Ma, what else did Brother Pan say?"

"No, General Pan just kept shouting for Mao Shuai, hoping to give Mao Shuai grievances, and General Pan still thinks that the emperor was just deceived by the villain. Ma Ding's tone was still very calm, as if he was recounting something completely unrelated to him.

Huang Shi couldn't bear to pull out his hand, but Pan Yidao's muffled voice stopped abruptly. He made a few strange noises in his throat and tilted his head to the side. The pain that had tormented Pan for a long time finally left him. This man who can't cry, until the last moment of his life, Pan Yidao grinned and made a funny smile, and exhaled a faint sigh of relief.

Huang Shi was silent for a long time, although the hands of his former comrades-in-arms gradually became cold. But still grasping his arm like a life-saving straw, as if there were still a thousand words that had not been told, Huang Shi suddenly hugged the corpse tightly, and said loudly and hurriedly: "Brother Pan, I know your grievances, and I also know Mao Shuai's grievances, I will definitely avenge your grievances, I swear, I swear, I swear!"

......

The thirteenth day of the second year of Chongzhen. Near Jizhou. At dusk, a black crowd was flocking into the first-line sky passage outside the Thistle Gate from the northeast. The torrent flowed forward rapidly, and soon flowed to the foot of the thistle,

Behind Jimen, from here to the Jingshidi Avenue, the army of King Qin, which had gathered in the meantime, had been transferred away, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, only left his descendant troops here - Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Behind Jimen, there are villages one after another. Since the late Jiajing Dynasty, this land has not been subjected to war for decades, and several generations have lived peacefully on this land, living the ordinary life of their ordinary people.

Behind a bare tree, a girl in a flower cotton jacket looked up at the Yanshan ridge that was faintly visible in the distance, and then hung her head shyly. Behind this young girl, a young man who is also wearing a bulging padded jacket is bragging about his wealth to his sweetheart: "The two gilts I raised are particularly strong, and the last time I went to the market, someone wanted to buy them at a high price, but I still refused!"

The young man said and patted the big tree next to the two of them, and straightened his chest like a man: "When this tree sprouts, I will go to your father to propose marriage." ”

"Well," the girl replied in a whisper with her head down, and said softly, "Master." ”

Behind the young couple is a small village, and a white-bearded old man sits at the entrance of the village, holding a branch in his hand, and is hurriedly parrying the attack of two young children, one older and one young. The two young children also held a branch each, and their two little faces were tense, and they launched a serious attack on their grandfather.

"It's a good time!" Grandpa flashed sideways in the shout, let go of a little grandson's straight split, and then gently slapped him on the buttocks, and at the same time called majestically: "Young man, look carefully!"

In the village, a middle-aged woman and her daughter are boiling water to prepare for cooking, while the father is feeding the cows in the backyard. The cow stood there munching on the hay slowly, and the man rubbed the cow vigorously, and when he had cleaned the ox, the man took two steps back, admiring his well-groomed old fellow, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Good fellow, so strong. The man patted his old cow lightly, and then stroked it gently along the cow's back. The cow also paused to eat, raised its head and looked at its master with wide eyes, gave a gentle cry in response, and then bowed its head again and began to eat its hay.

......

The black torrent was still flowing forward rapidly, surging out of the Heavenly Narrow Passage next to Jizhou Fort, and the torrent seemed to pause slightly, and then began to accelerate again. With the incessant sound of horses' hooves, the torrent overflowed the ridge of Yensan and then continued to rush towards the Gyeonggi Plain behind Yensan, a vast plain that had become undefended, filled with quiet villages and unsuspecting people.

The sound of horses' hooves was followed by the rolling of countless wheels, and thousands of pigtailed men were pushing their carts vigorously, panting and struggling westward. They were all intently pushing the cart forward, and almost no one glanced at the thistle gate, which had been left behind them.

The sound of horses' hooves, wheels, and footsteps mingled and echoed through the mountains of Yanshan, and the mountains seemed to be awakened by the noise, and they buzzed and made a low echo, which became louder and louder...... If you listen closely, they seem to be questioning;

Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan!

On the Jinluan Palace, the person who patted his chest and promised the Son of Heaven "five years of Pingliao", isn't it you?

In the Lantai duet, isn't it you who personally received the sword of Shang Fang presented by the emperor's hands?

After coming to Jimen, the person who promised the court that "the slave will not be allowed to take a step beyond Jixi", isn't it you?

The person who cares about the safety of thousands of people in Gyeonggi with one word and the well-being of hundreds of millions of lives with his deeds, isn't it you, the governor of Jiliao?

Why don't you resist? Why don't you resist?

Why, why, why not resist?

Why don't you resist?

But all the people were in a hurry, and they did not care to discern the cries of the mountains.

After a man with braided hair pushed the cart out of Jimen Valley Road, he stopped to wipe his sweat and glanced back at Jimen in the night—there was not even a beacon fire lit on it!

On November 13 of the second year of Chongzhen, the Houjin army crossed the Jimen Heavenly Danger without blood and invaded the Jinggi Plain of the Ming Dynasty.
