Li Yan and the others have also returned to the west bank of the White River.

At this time, Li Yan was holding a double-section telescope to watch this sudden battle in front of the camp, Li Nian and Li Mu did not have a telescope, so they could only use their naked eyes to look into the distance.

But because it's far away and it's night, it's not clear.

Li Mu was so anxious that he asked repeatedly, "Brother, what's wrong?" How's the fight? ”

"Half a catty to eight taels." Li Yan said, "The two are not only similar in martial arts, but they also seem to be familiar with each other. ”

Li Nian said: "So it is possible that the Mongols who defected to Liaoxi? ”

Li Yan snorted and said: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Wu Sangui's 1,000 Yiding, when Zu Dashou recruited 3,000 Yiding from the Mongols who defected to Liaoxi, of which 1,000 Yiding surrendered to Jiannu with Zu Dashou, and the other 1,000 were destroyed by us, and the previous estimate is the remaining 1,000 Yiding." ”

Speaking of this, he chuckled and said: "This Chahar grassland is really a stormy meeting." ”

"Huh? Now it's a problem. Li Mu hurriedly said, "Wu Sangui's Qianyi Ding must be here to save Chongzhen, this Qianyi Ding is the elite of the Mongols, Chongzhen Lao'er has this Qianyi Ding escort, even if we unite with the Gongtu Department, I am afraid we will not be able to keep it, not to mention that the Gongtu Department is not willing to unite with us at all." ”

"Are you really here to escort you?" Li Yan smiled, "I can't see it." ”

"Huh?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Then what are they doing here?" ”

"Leave them alone." Li Yan put down the binoculars and said to Li Nian and Li Mu, "Second brother, third brother, hurry up and take someone to raise a few more bonfires, and let the soldiers dry their wet clothes and armor quickly, otherwise they will be easy to get sick when the cold wind blows." ”

"Yes." Li Nian and Li Mu hurriedly took people to burn the fire.

……

Inside the camp of the Ming army.

Wang Jiayan, Gong Yonggu and other civil officials and nobles are also speculating about the origin of this cavalry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, which side do you say this cavalry is on? Rogues or Mongols? ”

"Are you stupid? If it's from the Mongols' side, will it fight with the Gongtu tribe? Moreover, the Mongolian tribes are mostly marked with Sulu ingot spears, but this army uses a large banner. ”

"So it's probably reinforcements from the thieves."

"If it's the thieves' reinforcements, why don't you see Li Yan's branch of the thieves to help?"

"That's right, it's not the Mongols, it's not the thieves, is it our Ming army?"

"It's really possible, don't forget, before we broke the siege of the Jingshi, Ping Xibo's 40,000 Guanning iron cavalry had already arrived in the territory of Yongping Mansion, maybe it was really the Guanning army."

Hearing this, everyone was not calm.

Wang Jiayan asked directly: "Holy Lord, can you see the banner clearly?" ”

"I can see it clearly, it's my Ming Sun and Moon Flag." Zhu Gaoyuan handed over the three-section telescope.

"Is it really the Sun and Moon Banner?" Wu Linzheng, Wei Shichun and other noble officials immediately cheered when they heard this.

Wang Jiayan couldn't wait to take over the three telescopes and aimed at the battlefield nearly 1,000 steps away in the southeast.

Zhu Gaoyuan's face was gloomy, what did Wu Sangui want to do? He hid in the grassland, and actually sent such a cavalry to "rescue"?

Zhu Gaoyuan didn't believe that this cavalry was really here to save the driver.

Can Wu Sangui have this kindness? This guy is a pure opportunist!

Chong Guan is angry and red-faced? Fake! Because the Dashun army chased the stolen goods and the salary to the head of the Wu family? Also fake!

The only reason that really made Wu Sangui change his position was that he felt that he could obtain greater benefits by borrowing the help of his teacher, so he did not hesitate to lead the Qing soldiers into the customs.

Therefore, falling into the hands of Wu Sangui can only become a bargaining chip.

Either sold to Li Zicheng, or sold to Guanwai Jiannu.

Perhaps Wu Sangui also wanted to learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Therefore, it is impossible to follow this cavalry to see Wu Sangui.

It's okay to fool Wu Sangui's cavalry over, and you can still consider it.

was able to let Wu Sangui send an "escort", which was obviously an elite cavalry.

It's not the 1,000 Yiding under Wu Sangui's command, this is the real elite of a hundred battles, and it is a strong existence that can fight in the field with Jiannu's protectors, that is, the white-armored soldiers!

It would be great if you could get such an elite.

At that moment, Zhu Gaoyuan's brain began to spin rapidly.

……

On the other side, Hu Xinshui forced the sun to retreat and shouted, "Stop! If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to tell the winner until dawn tomorrow. ”

"What do you want?"

Her chest rose and fell violently like a bellows.

Hu Xinshui said: "It's too late today, let's fight again tomorrow!" ”

"Good!" "Tomorrow will be a life and death!" ”

"I can guarantee that you will be the one who will die." Hu Xinshui snorted and walked back.

Hu Guozhu rode his horse to catch up and asked in a low voice, "Abba, why didn't you fight?" The leader of the Arch Rabbit is almost overwhelmed, and you can kill him if you hold on for a few more moments. ”

"Son, we didn't come to the Gongtu tribe this time to fight hard."

Hu Xinshui waved his hand and said, "The purpose of our trip is to tie Emperor Chongzhen back." ”

Hu Guozhu scratched his head, and said as if he didn't understand: "Then Abba, why do you want to fight with the head of the Arch Rabbit Department again?" ”

"Of course, this is for Emperor Chongzhen and the noble officials accompanying him." Hu Xinshui said, "Otherwise, how can you gain their trust?" The credibility of our Guan Ning Army is not very good. ”

Hu Guozhu sighed and asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”

"Cross the river downstream first." Hu Xinshui thought for a while, and said, "Then you cross the river to meet Chongzhen, if you can, let's enter the camp on the other side of the river loop and station, kill the Beijing camp soldiers and then tie up Chongzhen, if not, temporarily stationed on the east bank of the Baihe, and then find a way to trick Chongzhen across the river to kidnap him." ”

Hu Xinshui thought quite simply.

As a result, Hu Guozhu thought more simply: "Abba, why don't you attack directly?" ”

"No, you kid can't know it's hard." Hu Xinshui shook his head and said, "The Beijing battalion soldiers have a lot of firearms, and our cavalry can't give full play to the advantage of speed in the river, so we will suffer." ”

"Okay." Hu Guozhu was silent.

……

When Hu Xinshui led Yiding to cross the river, the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty also saw it.

Zhu Gaoyuan asked Gong Yonggu to guard the front, and then took other noble officials to the south of the camp, and after a while, the two cavalry Guan Ning troops came to the opposite shore.

"Who's coming?" Wang Chengen shouted.

"The last general is the guerrilla Hu Xinshui of the left battalion of the Guanning Army."

Hu Xinshui arched his hand on horseback and said: "Fengping Xibo and Ningyuan Wu generals are ordered to come to escort them." ”

Zhu Gaoyuan glanced at Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen asked in a sharp voice: "General Hu, how many men and horses did you bring?" ”

Hu Xinshui said loudly: "Back to the Holy Lord, the last general brought a thousand Yiding from the headquarters, all of them are elite, but they are tired from afar, please invite the Brigadier General of the Holy Grace and the soldiers of the left battalion to enter the camp for a while, and wait until tomorrow, the last general will lead the soldiers of the left battalion to defeat the thieves on the opposite side and the cavalry of the Gongtu tribe, and escort the holy car to Yongping Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiayan and the others changed their faces one after another.

Guan Ningjun actually proposed to join the Zhisu Guard?

Zhu Gaoyuan was secretly happy in his heart, it was really that thousand Yiding.

Wang Chengen said: "General Hu, according to the ancestral system, foreign troops are not allowed to enter the Zhisu Guard, and the Guanning army is still camped on the other side, but you can cross the river alone to meet the holy driver." ”

Hu Xinshui on the other side seemed to hesitate.

Finally, he said: "Since the Holy Lord does not allow our army to enter the Zhisu Guard, then the last general shoulders the heavy responsibility of commanding the army, and he can't cross the river to meet the holy driver for the time being, so let the last general's dog come to meet the holy driver on his behalf." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiayan and other officials whispered again.

Unexpectedly, the saint was right again, and Hu Xinshui did not dare to cross the river alone to meet him.

"How?" Zhu Gaoyuan said in a low voice, "Now you should believe it, right?" ”

Wang Jiayan, Wu Linzheng and other officials sighed when they heard the words and fell silent.

In fact, no one is a fool, since Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong, Liaodong Jiangmen has become more and more gate-valved, this phenomenon can be seen by everyone, but no one can say it, because the Liaodong military group is irreplaceable, offended the Liaodong Jiangmen headed by the Li family, the ancestral family, etc., who will calm Liaodong and who will resist Jiannu?

In a word, Daming was kidnapped by Liaodong Jiangmen, and he can't afford to provoke it.

If you are really in a hurry, Liaodong will stomp your feet and surrender to Jiannu, then it will be troublesome.

At that moment, Zhu Gaoyuan said directly: "General Hu, don't trouble Ling Lang to cross the river, I will personally cross the river with 500 catties of beef and mutton and go to the camp of the Guanning army to reward the army." ”

"In this way, the last will be retired."

Hu Xinshui shook it again, beat the horse and left.

Seeing Hu Xinshui's father and son go away, Wang Jiayan and other officials blew up.

"Shengshang, if the minister does not agree with you to cross the river, Ping Xibo and Guan Ningjun may not surrender to the thief, but the heart of the disobedience is already obvious, and if the saint crosses the river, he will be threatened."

"The minister also thinks that the saint cannot be in danger."

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister can be sent to cross the river to sacrifice the army."

Zhu Gaoyuan patiently listened to the impassioned ministers, and finally said: "Rest assured, Aiqing, I will be fine, and I promise you that I will return to the barracks safely." ”

"The ministers oppose it, and the saint must not cross the river."

"If the saint wants to cross the river, he will kill the minister first."

"If the saint does not obey, the minister will commit suicide by jumping into the river."

Zhu Gaoyuan's kind words and persuasion failed to exchange for the understanding of the ministers, these guys were even more excessive, and they all began to threaten the emperor with death, but then again, they really dared to die.

Because according to the original historical trajectory, these people have been dead for many days.

But Zhu Gaoyuan didn't have time to talk to these dead brains, so he immediately said with a dark face: "You don't agree with me crossing the river, do you?" Okay, as long as you can come up with a way out of trouble, I won't go! ”

At this point, all the noble officials were dumb.

How can they get out of their predicament?
