"Is the emperor's move a little too drastic?"

"All Aiqing is also thinking about the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ju ran away before the battle and wanted to enter the city, this is also the truth, such a general, the court is tolerant of not punishing crimes, if it is counted as the first hero of this battle, it is absurd."

Sun Ruowei saw that people's hearts were available, so he stood up and ended the end for the official.

Zhu Di laughed angrily, let go of Liu Ju's hand, and said, "Excessive? If this is too radical, then what is the Emperor Taishang's loss of hundreds of thousands in Tumu Fort? ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di looked around at the surrounding ministers.

Everywhere in sight, no one is afraid to look at each other.

"Will any of you be able to hold it at Xizhimen?"

"Tao Jin, you are fighting against Boyan Timur in Andingmen, do you know how the combat strength of the soldiers and horses of the Wara headquarters is, I ask you, if it is you who go first this time, can you hold it?"

"Will you run away?"

Tao Jin was still laughing at Liu Ju's retreat just now, it was not a big deal to see the excitement, but he didn't think about it, and the next moment he asked himself, and hurriedly bowed down and replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know if the minister can hold it, but the minister will definitely fight until the last moment!"

"Hmph, I don't doubt it." Zhu Di glanced at him, then found another general and asked, "What about you, I ask you again, if you want to resist the main force of Yexian head-on, can you win?" ”

The general fell to his knees in a hurry, speechless.

Liu Ju looked at the scene in front of him, there seemed to be tears rolling in his eyes, seeing that the emperor trusted him so much, he didn't know whether to be moved or ashamed.

On the battlefield, when he raised his eyes and saw the endless army of Warat, Liu Ju's belief in continuing to fight was indeed shaken, and the idea of retreating spontaneously arose.

He also believed that if there was a way out at that time, he would not hesitate to throw down his weapon and run.

"Your Majesty!"

"Minister... I am ashamed of my trust..."

Liu Ju choked and knelt on the ground, and at this moment, it no longer mattered to him whether he had merit or not, because he had found the monarch he would be loyal to for the rest of his life.

Now he is very lucky, glad that there was no way back at that time, and he retained the last shred of dignity.

"None of you has the courage to tell me firmly that you can defend Xizhimen! Liu Ju, he did it with less than 20,000 remnants of the defeated general! ”

"And now, you're picking on one of his faults!"

"Who is not a saint or a sage?"

"I'm not a saint, I also have feelings, I'm afraid, and I sometimes retreat!" Zhu Di's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the Fengtian Temple, hitting the hearts of everyone present.

"Aren't you afraid of chilling the soldiers in Xizhimen who are shouting to fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty?"

"That's all I have to say, I don't want to say anything more."

There had been silence in the Fengtian Hall for a long time, and when the city of Beijing was full of cheers, the center of the Ming Dynasty was a little quiet.

I don't know how long it took, and a man stood up to break the silence that had been maintained for a long time.

"Your Majesty is very true! The military department gave a letter to the middle of the matter, and was ordered by Shangshu to supervise the battle of Xizhimen! The minister thought that although Liu Dudu wanted to enter the city, it was really excusable. ”

"The battle situation in Xizhimen is so fierce, it has not been in a hundred years, even if the minister stands at the head of the city, he is frightened, if there is no Liu Dudu to ascend and shout, the defenders will definitely not be able to hold out when His Majesty arrives."

"Therefore, the minister thinks that even if Liu Dudu has no merit, he should not have a fault, and there is hard work without merit!"

Zhu Di looked at Cheng Xin and was very satisfied.

Among the civilian officials who were involved in the war and were eligible to enter the class for an audience, only this military section gave a letter to the middle of the mission, and he also gave the order not to open the door at that time.

Originally, Zhu Di thought that he was in love with these people all the way, but he didn't expect that Cheng Xin finally didn't resist the inner torment and chose to stand up and say this fair sentence.

In particular, Cheng Xin was the only high-ranking official in Xizhimen who supervised the battle and personally experienced the tragic battle of defending the city.

As soon as his words came out, he actually proved something for Liu Ju.

Even if many people still want to liquidate, they know that now is not the time to continue to open their mouths, so they have to give up.

Liu Ju glanced at Cheng Xin gratefully, and really regretted the cruel words he had released during the battle.

......

Meanwhile.

Also, on the run.

Just like Shi Heng a month ago.

It's just that now the rabbit and the hunter's object have been replaced, and they have become rabbits fleeing everywhere first, and Shi Heng has become a hunter who is chasing after him.

At first, he originally thought about retreating to the camp first, and then said whether to retreat or continue to attack Beijing.

However, his opponent was Yu Qian.

Yu Qian had already guessed which way Shi Heng was going to go back, and sent Fan Guang, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, to set up an ambush on the road that he had to pass, and slaughtered him first.

Since most of the Ming army was infantry, the pursuit was not deep.

The Shenji Battalion only scattered the remnants of the army led by Yexian at the ambush, and did not make any pursuit.

He also escaped from the ambush of the Shenji Battalion out of breath first, and before he had time to rest for long, he found the Shi Heng army following behind.

The current Shi Heng has simply implemented the tactics of beating the water dogs to the extreme.

Always following behind unhurriedly, not far from Yu Qian's main force, a little bit of cannibalization and loosening of the rear troops of the palace, receiving the weapons and baggage left by them, not giving any chance to counterattack at all.

Of course, while running away, he did not forget the biggest trophy, which was the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen who was thrown by him to the camp.

He fled back to the camp in embarrassment, and before his ass was hot, he heard the sound of cannons everywhere.

I can't stay here anymore, and everyone who is a soldier immediately decided to continue running.

With Zhu Qizhen and some simple baggage, they also gave up the logistics camp they used for the attack first, and fled for their lives to the south, and fled until no cannon could be heard before stopping.

Looking at the only remaining thousands of cavalry around him, he also knew that this time he was completely defeated.

But he still didn't want to go.

Since he also inherited the position of his father Tuhuan's Taishi, he led Warat to fight more than 100 battles in the grassland, and only failed one, which can be described as sweeping the world and rare to meet opponents.

Now in Beijing, not to mention the loss of troops and generals, even the looted materials have been lost just now, and after suffering such a big loss, he returned to the grassland in such a gray manner, where to put his face?

How can you order the heroes to be the overlord of the grassland?

At the very least, we have to win a battle before we go back, right?

In fact, he had already understood that Beijing City was not something he could touch at all, and the idea of restoring the hegemony of the Great Yuan in his heart had been completely defeated by Yu Qian in this battle.

Now what he thinks about is nothing more than a matter of face.

So he also called Xining first, the little eunuch of the Ming Dynasty who volunteered to give him a bad idea, and wanted to hear his opinion.

Soon, Xining gave him another idea.

It's just that this time it's not a bad idea in the full sense of the word.

"What, straighten out the soldiers and horses, go to fight Nanjing?"

was also stunned for a moment, and he sneered: "Do you think that Master Ben is a fool?" Beijing is already so difficult to fight, all the way to Nanjing has to pass through the territory of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Is there a life to go, a life to come back?"

Seeing that this Wara Taishi seemed to have been broken by the Ming army, the little traitor Xining rolled his eyes, immediately took out a map, said a compromise plan, and said with a smile:

"Look, Taishi, this is our location, this is the capital, and that, it is Juyong Pass!"

also lit up first: "Juyongguan? ”

This position, how did this Taishi not find out before.
