"Dingwang?" Ma Ke was stunned for a moment, the king of Da Ming Ding, would actually come to help him?

He didn't care about resting, and hurriedly ran to the north gate. Soon, Ma Ke saw the Ming infantry, 20,000 people, neatly lined up in 20 phalanxes.

In the middle of the military formation, a young man rode a brown and black war horse, wearing armor all over his body, and stood in front of the pass.

On the side of King Ding, there was a young man, it was Li Guo, he exuded an elegant aura all over his body, but there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows.

Although King Ding didn't know Ma Ke, he guessed about what the man in the city was wearing, and glanced at Li Guo.

"Marko, open the door quickly. The thieves can't support you anymore, return to the Ming Dynasty! Li Guo drank loudly.

"Is there a holy decree?" Marco asked.

"There is no decree, only a decree of the king." Li Guo replied.

Marco knew that once he opened the door, he would be a turtle in an urn.

The officials who surrendered to Li Zicheng in Gyeonggi were all confiscated and turned into slaves, so how good could their results be?

"The ministers are so guilty that they dare not open the door and die." Marco proclaimed himself a vassal and replied truthfully, hoping for some kind of promise from the king.

King Ding raised his head and said loudly: "My father has no will, and I can't promise you." If you dare not open the door, you will wait for your city to be broken, and then take the city from the hands of the captives. ”

Ma Ke was shocked when he heard this, this is really not a way to live, you are just telling a lie, and I will go down the steps.

"His Royal Highness the King Ding, the minister has been disloyal, and it is difficult to escape death when he returns to the Ming Dynasty! If you can't hold this pass, you can't escape death. It makes no difference whether the door is open or not. Marco shouted.

"If you only have yourself in your heart, and there are no millions of people, you will die in the city." After King Ding finished speaking, he no longer spoke, let alone looked at Ma Ke again.

Li Guo took over, "Ma Ke, take the initiative to open the door, there is still a glimmer of life!" When the time comes, King Ding can intercede for you! ”

Ma Ke listened, he was still not at ease, he just pleaded, and he didn't say that he would spare himself, so you said that you would save your life.

Seeing that Ma Ke hesitated, Li Guo discussed with King Ding for a while, and finally shouted that if he couldn't resist, he could go out of the city to ask for help in person.

Subsequently, the whole army camped 1 mile outside the pass, ignoring the shouts of the city.

When Ma Ke saw that the king really didn't pay attention to himself, he paced back and forth at the head of the city, like an ant on a hot pot.

The war will only get harder, and the longer it drags on, the less valuable it becomes.

He thought of surrendering Jianyu, and reflexively went out of the city to capture King Ding.

But seeing that King Ding was so calm and camped, he was afraid of an ambush arranged, so he didn't dare to open the city gate without authorization, putting himself in a dangerous situation.

All night, he was in a tangled mood.

……

When Gao Di got the news of Jinyiwei's secret agent, it was already dark, he read the content, learned about the behavior of the king, and immediately had a numb scalp, and hurriedly ran to the palace.

But the palace door was closed, and there was no way, so Gao Di had to stuff the secret music into the crack of the door, and stood in front of the door waiting for Chongzhen's reply.

At this time, Wang Chengen, with his special identity, was already standing in front of Chongzhen.

"Long live, King Ding's men and horses are insufficient, and he is a new soldier, in case Ma Ke plots wrong, the consequences are unimaginable."

Zhu Youjian stood up, walked back and forth in the main hall twice, and said sharply: "King Ding's courage is too great, even if the military situation is urgent, he should report back before acting, and he actually ordered his own troops and went!" ”

When Wang Chengen heard this, he couldn't feel whether Chongzhen was blaming or worried, so he didn't dare to say more, just stood.

At this time, a little eunuch ran to the door, "Father-in-law Tian, this is the secret performance of Jinyiwei." ”

Tian Shouxin had long wanted to go in and listen to it, so he took the secret music, quickly knocked on the door, and after the order, he quickly entered the hall and presented the secret music to Chongzhen.

Zhu Youjian looked at it and found that the news from Dongchang was basically the same.

"This king will have to discipline more in the future, and if you act like this, it will cause a big disaster sooner or later!" Zhu Youjian's tone was full of anger.

When Tian Shouxin heard this, he thought that King Ding had caused trouble, which made Chongzhen displeased, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Cheng'en, quickly draft the order, order the Flying Dragon Army and the Fire Dragon Army to assemble quickly, commanded by Gao Di and Ni Yuanlu, and rush to Juyong Pass overnight!" Zhu Youjian said.

Tian Shouxin panicked when he heard this, he was by his side, how could he let Wang Chengen write the holy decree on his behalf?

In fact, Zhu Youjian just felt that Wang Chengen knew the whole story, and let him draft the decree faster, and he never wanted to provoke Tian Shou's confidence.

Wang Chengen walked away quickly, and deliberately glanced at Tian Shouxin before leaving.

Zhu Youjian didn't notice his small movements, and thought quietly on his own.

In fact, at the time of Shen, Wen Xuan reported the movements of King Ding, and also knew the name of the military attache who helped King Ding transfer troops.

I also learned the whereabouts of the Jianlu in Shanxi.

Hauge is probably starting to go berserk, and the political situation in Jianyu must be turbulent.

Now that Shanxi and Shaanxi are fighting, it is the best time to send troops to recover the lost territory.

Although Nikan is brave, it is impossible to capture Juyong Pass. Even if Ma Ke is short of food and soldiers, as long as he desperately defends and gives Nikan another month, it will be difficult to take Juyong Pass.

At the same time, he wants to recall King Ding back to the palace as soon as possible, this son acted like this, the intention could not be more obvious, although there is no news of the prince now, but life and death have never been determined.

King Ding is so impatient, he can even be called arrogant, and he must be suppressed.

Zhu Youjian thought about it, and wrote two secret decrees by hand, one of which was handed to Ni Yuanlu, informing him of the strategic purpose, and at the same time, he asked to send King Ding back to the palace as soon as possible.

The other was handed over to Gao Di, and he was asked to send a capable general to Jingxi as soon as possible, and kill the generals who helped King Ding to transfer troops on the spot.

……

Before the child, the gate of Jingshi, which had not been opened at night for a hundred years, slowly opened.

Dozens of brocade-clothed guards galloped out of the west gate, and disappeared in the night.

At the north gate of the Beijing Division, the Flying Dragon Army and the newly built Fire Dragon Army were also assembled, and the 40,000 new troops lined up neatly, under the leadership of Gao Di and Ni Yuanlu, and rushed towards the northwest.

Juyong Pass is only 90 miles away from the Beijing Division, and there was no traffic jam in that era, and the army marched rapidly, and it could be reached in half an hour.

This is also the reason why King Ding can suddenly appear in front of Juyong Pass, and why Jinyiwei and Dongchang can deliver the news to the palace so quickly.

Just after the ugly time, Ma Ke in Juyong Pass heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.

He hurried up the wall and looked east. Unfortunately, it was dark and I couldn't see anything.

King Ding and Li Guo also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and hurriedly got up and went out of the tent to check.

Ni Yuanlu held the holy decree high and broke into the Dingwang barracks, and did not read it, but respectfully handed the holy decree to the hands of the king.

King Ding saw it, knew Chongzhen's temper, and didn't say much, followed a team of 1,000 people with a gloomy face, and rode back to Beijing.

Ni Yuanlu saw that King Dingwang was ordered to leave, breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered Li Guo to be tied up and thrown into the prison car.

Li Guo was not panicked, sat in the prison car with peace of mind, and fell asleep after a while.

Gao Di and Ni Yuanlu ignored him, and the two of them quickly walked to the city of Juyongguan, holding torches to signal to the city.

When Ma Ke saw it, he was overjoyed, poked his head out, and asked, "Is the city a high general soldier?" ”

"Okay, you Ma Ke, you actually let King Ding live in the wilderness, you don't want to be a Ming courtier?" Gaudi rebuked.

Although it was an angry reprimand, Ma Ke felt that it was like heaven when he heard it, "Don't dare, I don't dare, the minister knows that he is guilty, but he still wants to live, and he doesn't dare to open the door!" ”

Gao Di laughed, very hearty, and said loudly: "Open the door, I have brought the emperor's holy decree to exempt you from all your sins, and from now on, follow me to guard the city and continue to serve the court!" ”

"That's true!" Marco surprise.

"Do you think Lao Tzu dares to falsely preach the holy decree?" Gaudi shouted.

When Ma Ke heard this, he was about to cry with happiness, and immediately ordered the door to be opened to welcome Gao Di and Ni Yuanlu into the city.
