"Send the Overseers to oversee the war."

As Zhou Xian gave orders one after another.

In the evening of the next day, Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi, received instructions from the imperial court.

He didn't sleep all night, raised 80,000 stones of grain and grass, and hoarded them at Yanmen Pass overnight.

Subsequently, Zhending and Taiyuan Mansion also began to send grain and grass to Yanmen Pass.

Why Yanmen Pass?

Because the rear of the Datong military town is Yanmen Pass.

Now Zhou Xian is completely unclear about the actual situation in Datong Military Town.

What if in a few days, Datong has completely fallen?

Didn't the grain and grass of the Ming Dynasty be sent directly to the dog's stomach?

But if Datong is going to fall, Yanmen Pass will not fall easily.

Just because Yanmen Pass is a natural risk in China.

And the guard of Yanmen Pass is not a straw bale.

Therefore, all the grain, grass and ordnance were hoarded at Yanmen Pass.

Then I was observing the situation on the Datong side.

On the side of Beijing City, Zhou Xian put on the long-lost Mingguang armor.

The King's Sword hangs from his waist and a new flintlock pistol in his hand.

Jin Wuwei's commander, Lu Delin, had rushed back to Beijing overnight.

At this moment, he is waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.

Chen Donghua, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Sun Chengzong, the first assistant of the cabinet, all stood by and waited.

This master of the dynasty is going to drive the expedition himself.

They had dissuaded them before, but to no avail.

Therefore, the elders of the cabinet and the commander of Jin Wuwei must follow the horses to the front line this time.

Hou Lianhui said: "Chitose Lord, it's all right." ”

"Okay."

Zhou Xian put away the flintlock pistol and walked towards the palace gate.

"Chitose Lord, the ...... of the South"

"Don't worry, I have already sent Han Shu to sit in Jinling, and the Donglin Party nest in the south can't afford to make too many waves."

"Yes."

Hou Lianhui bowed slightly, bowed and watched Zhou Xian disappear outside the palace gate.

Sun Chengzong and Lu Delin quickly followed Zhou Xian closely.

"What are you doing with it?" Zhou Xian turned around and asked.

"The last general is willing to lead the horse for the Chitose Lord." Lu Delin bowed down and asked for instructions.

Zhou Xian said with a smile: "To deal with Hazier, why bother Lu Shuai." ”

"Your mission is to assist the Praetorian Guards in holding the capital division."

"Chitose ......"

"Needless to say, if there is chaos in the capital, I will ask you."

"Yes."

"Elder Sun Ge, you can go back and rest too."

"Chitose is merciful, how dare the old minister go back to rest? The old minister wants to follow Chitose to conquer himself. ”

"No, no, no, you are the cabinet chief, the court can't live without you, take it with you in the capital, and wait for me to triumph."

Zhou Xian's attitude was resolute.

Sun Chengzong and Lu Delin no longer insisted.

Both eyes sent Zhou Xian to turn over and leave the inner city of the palace.

Until this time, Lu Delin, who was full of blood and bravery, sighed with emotion: "Elder Sun Ge, the last general feels that today's horse has the posture of a holy monarch. ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Chengzong looked shocked and hurriedly said, "Shut up." ”

Immediately, Sun Chengzong looked around and found that there were no outsiders listening, so he said to Lu Delin with a serious expression: "Don't mention this kind of thing again, be careful that someone sues you for being strong." ”

Lu Delin nodded hurriedly: "Thank you Sun Ge for reminding me, it's the last general who has forgotten." ”

Sun Chengzong bowed slightly: "You go down, so that you can consolidate the capital." ”

"Yes."

Lu Delin bowed his head and left.

Sun Chengzong looked at Lu Delin's background, and his eyes were mixed with a bit of appreciation.

In fact, isn't he the kind of thinking that Lu Delin has?

Compared with the horses of the dynasty, the Chongzhen Emperor who hid in Taishan Xingyuan was somewhat redundant!

Sun Chengzong hopes that he will never come back!

Although this move is disrespectful, compared to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong decisively stood in the latter position!

However, it was said that Zhou Xian left the Donghua Gate and went straight to the garrison of the forbidden army.

"Chitose."

Hearing someone greeting, Zhou Xian grabbed the reins.

Looking back, it was Lu Delin who rode his horse to catch up.

"Chitose, the last general implores to follow Chitose pro-Zheng."

"Lu Delin, your mission is to defend Gyeonggi."

"If Datong falls and Yanmen Pass is attacked, then Gyeonggi will be completely unsafe."

Lu Delin's words are also simple and straightforward.

Zhou Xian's expression was moved, and he bowed slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Delin looked overjoyed, hurriedly jumped off the horse, and personally stepped forward to lead the horse for Zhou Xian.

With a stick of incense, Zhou Xian has come to the forbidden army camp.

The firearms elite of the Forbidden Army Battalion, 20,000 Praetorian Guards, 10,000 Jinwuwei, and 5,000 Shenji Battalion were already ready to go.

Flags flutter in the wind.

Zhou Xian brought Lu Delin here.

The general who commanded the three armies came to the door to take the lead in saluting, and said in a frenzied voice: "The last general will see Chitose!" ”

"The generals obey orders."

"Hazier backstabbed my Daming, Chen soldiers and I went to Datong border town, it is the autumn of the country's peril, it is the time to use troops, the generals will go out with me to completely eliminate Hazier, in order to raise my great prestige!"

"Chitose! Chitose! ”

"I'm willing to go out with Chitose to kill the enemy!"

"Okay."

As Zhou Xian nodded.

Lou already knew what role he was going to play next.

Zhou Xian personally went on the expedition, and the main coffee must be him.

What Lu Delin did was to join the army and be a pioneer.

Ming Dynasty, Beijing City.

The camp of the forbidden army in the north of the city, the Janissary Guard, Jin Wuwei and the Shenji battalion left the city in a mighty way.

Tens of thousands of horses were like a torrent of steel, heading straight for Datong.

The colt is gone!

Expedition.

The news spread throughout the court the next day.

For a while, the members of the Donglin Party who were hidden in the dive showed off their sense of existence again.

But they didn't dare to be too rampant.

After all, there is still Sun Chengzong above the court.

At this time, even if Sun Chengzong did not have the opportunity to rest for two days, he did not dare to take a nap at will.

Instead, he sent a report to investigate the situation of the army without stopping with Zhou Xian's expedition.

Early morning of the third day.

The army led by Zhou Xian has entered the territory of Shanxi.

The real marching speed was actually only thirty-six hours.

Zhou Xian rode his horse and did not rest on the road.

The same is true for the Praetorian Guards, except for the collective replacement of a batch of war horses in Zhending County, and the feeding of the original war horses with the army, which consumed two hours, they have not closed their eyes.

During Zhou Xian's march, he constantly received military briefings from the border pass.

The more he looked at it, the more ugly Zhou Xian's face became.

There are too many disadvantages at the front.

Hazier's offensive was also too fierce.

It has only been six days since Zhou Xian received the first piece of information in Beijing.

Counting the 800 miles at that time, it took one day to expedit.

That's a week's time.

The Outer Seven Forts of Datong Military Town have all fallen.

The even more tragic Inner Five Fort also fell.

You must know that Datong, the head of the nine-sided important town of the Ming Dynasty, has a total of 52 forts.

The inner five forts are also called "five forts of the side wall", in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, the general soldier Mao Bowen, the governor Shi Dao, and the general soldier Liang Zhen angrily built the five forts of the town, Zhenchuan, Zhenyu, Zhenhe, and Hongci.

The Hongci Fort of the Five Castles is among the five Forts,

In the north of Datong Town, it is the strongest and largest in terms of scale and troop deployment.

The Outer Seven Forts are the strongest fortresses.

There are more permanent troops than the Inner Five Forts.
