A round of the rising sun rises in the east, the breeze blows through the steep Bauhinia Ridge, the strong smell of blood and gunpowder comes to the nose, the corpses in and out of the city of Bauhinia Pass are all over the place, there are both Ming army and Tartars, there are broken limbs and stumps everywhere, and there are blood-stained blades, and the broken banners are burning in the flames......

I answered that under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, I drove the horse into the Bauhinia Pass, and the four hooves of the Dawan famous horse under the crotch of the divine horse were vigorous, and every step was a blood-colored hoof print, because the blood in the city was not yet dry, and the road was paved with a layer of thick plasma, which showed how tragic this battle was.

In order to capture the Bauhinia Pass, the Tatar cavalry stormed for more than an hour regardless of casualties, killing and wounding nearly 5,000 people, which can be said to be a lot of blood, but it was completely worth it in my opinion.

Because the Bauhinia Pass is the last natural danger leading to the capital of Daming, passing through the Bauhinia Pass is the North China Plain of Pingchuan, and it does not take half a day to kill the foot of the Daming capital. At that time, the national capital of the Ming Dynasty will be like a piece of fat on the chopping board, let it be slaughtered by itself, even if it can't break the city in the end, as long as it plunders around the capital, it is enough to earn a full bowl of money, and at the same time prestige the world, it is fame and fortune.

Less than 200 miles to the northeast of Bauhinia Pass is Fangshan County, and then Liangxiang, after Liangxiang is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the whole journey is 300 miles. As soon as he thought that he would be able to arrive in the capital of the Ming Dynasty in less than half a day, his blood boiled, and he called Zhao Quan over and opened a map.

This route map of the march was provided by Zhao Quan, who was ambitious and had long had ill intentions, and had been deliberately probing, so he knew the passes and troop deployment around the capital of the Ming Dynasty well. If Zhao Quan didn't lead the way, even if Zhang Yin opened the killing mouth and let him go, it would be impossible for me to capture the Bauhinia Pass so quickly.

At this time, I saw Zhao Quan pointing to a red dot on the map and said: "Suo Duo Khan, please look, this is Fangshan County, fifty miles to the east is a good township, and the Shenji Battalion is stationed here!" ”

Hearing this, my eyes sharpened, and I gritted my teeth and said, "Shenji Battalion!" ”

Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong led two thousand Shenji battalions to attack and destroy Bansheng City, and defeated the three thousand cavalry under the command of Alta, and then killed the leader of the Ordos department, Mai Li Gen Jinong, and made the three thousand chickens and dogs on the right wing of the Tatar side jump, and finally successfully escaped into the Daqing Mountains without a trace, which is undoubtedly equivalent to beating me a few big-eared scrapers, which is simply a great shame.

I replied that this time he brazenly led his troops south, precisely to avenge the shame, and at the same time to enhance his prestige, so as to tame the Ordos generals who had just taken over. It would be best if he could successfully break through the capital of the Ming Dynasty this time, even if he couldn't, his prestige would increase greatly, and then who would dare to disagree?

At this time, I only heard Zhao Quan say again: "As the so-called soldiers are fast, Suoduo Khan should immediately send five thousand elite cavalry to destroy the Shenji battalion, and in addition, Tongzhou is the north-south transportation artery and important granary of the capital, so it should be the first to send troops to capture it."

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: eat the enemy for one minute, be my twenty bells, taboo one stone, be my twenty stones. As long as we take Tongzhou, we will have food in hand at that time, even if we can't break through the capital of Daming in a short time, we will have no worries. Moreover, once Tongzhou falls, people in the capital will inevitably panic, which is extremely beneficial to us! ”

My answer was bright, and he laughed and said: "Mr. Zhao is really Xiao He of this Khan, good strategy, just follow what Mr. Zhao said, if you can conquer the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. will be the lord of this river and mountain!" ”

A trace of excitement flashed in Zhao Quan's eyes, and for the first time, he felt that he was so close to the throne, and arched his hand and said: "Soduo Khan praised it falsely, and An dared to compare it with Xiao He, the famous minister of the Great Han." ”

I laughed and shouted, "Ali Chi listens to orders!" ”

A strong general who was as strong as a bear took a step forward and said loudly, "The last general will be." ”

"Ben Khan ordered you to lead five thousand horsemen to destroy the Shenji Battalion, there must be no mistake!" I replied loudly.

"The last will be fate!" Ali slammed his fist on the breastplate, making a loud bang, and then ordered 5,000 iron horsemen to rush straight to Fangshan County.

"Hadan Batel, Ben Khan ordered you to lead five thousand horsemen to take Tongzhou City, there must be no mistake!" I replied and shouted.

A general with a beard on his face rode forward to beat his chest in promise, and immediately ordered another 5,000 iron horsemen to set off, killing Tongzhou in the southeast of the capital.

……

At this time, in the capital, which is about 300 miles away from Zijing Pass, the carriage Xu Jin was riding had just left his home in Xiaofang and drove along Chang'an Avenue to Dongbianmen.

Today is the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Xu Jin will leave Beijing for Tongzhou, and then take a boat at Tongzhou Wharf to Yingtian (Nanjing) along the canal to the south to perform his duties. Xu Jin went south this time lightly and did not bring his family with him, only his brother-in-law Xie Sangun and his family member Xu Shou accompanied him.

Although Xu Jin's trip was very low-key, even the logo on the carriage was taken off, but it still couldn't escape the eyes of those who cared, just when his carriage left Xu's mansion, a family member from the Wuding Marquis Mansion on the opposite side immediately ran back to the house and reported: "Young Master Shouqian, Xu Jin's carriage has set off, and the family is carrying a burden, and it is estimated that he is going to leave Beijing and go south." ”

Guo Shouqian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How many people did he bring?" ”

The family man gloated and said: "It's just two family members, it is estimated that they are afraid of losing face, sneaky, the carriage doesn't even dare to hang the logo, tsk, the former majestic Marquis of Jinghai has been reduced to the current field, poor wow!" ”

Guo Shouqian laughed happily: "This is called evil retribution, go and inform Tang Xianji and Xu Wenbi, well, call Yan Deqiu too, hehe, take advantage of his illness to kill him, this time Ben Shao will definitely humiliate the surname Xu to eliminate the hatred in my heart." ”

This guy immediately went to the house!

Half an hour later, Guo Shouqian, Xu Wenbi, and Tang Xianji, the three evil youths, gathered outside the Dongbian Gate in the capital, each with ten domestic slaves, each with sticks, so frightened that the people who entered and left the city avoided one after another.

"Fuck it, why hasn't that guy Yan Deqiu arrived yet?" Guo Shouqian rode on horseback and looked into the city scolding, everyone had arrived, but Yan Shifan had not yet arrived.

At this time, a family member wearing a small hat in a green coat trotted over sweatingly, and said with a smile: "Guo Shao, Xu Shao, Tang Shao, our young master Deqiu has diarrhea today and can't go out, so let the little one come and confess to you." ”

"Mother Xipi, don't pull it sooner or later, but pull it at this time!" Guo Shouqian said unhappily.

Xu Wenbi, the grandson of Dingguo Gong, pouted and said: "What does that dead fat man do, we can't live without him?" Let's go, if Xu Jin boards the boat, then we will run away in vain. ”

So, the three evil young men hurriedly set off in the direction of Tongzhou with a group of domestic slaves, and Tang Xianji asked without giving up: "Qianshao, did Xu Jin really not bring a maid this time?" ”

Guo Shouqian shook his head and said, "No, I brought two family members!" ”

Tang Xianji said regretfully: "It's a pity, if Xu Jin took the pair of twin maids out this time, Ben Shao would definitely grab it home and enjoy it." ”

Xu Wenbi laughed and said: "Tang Xianji, I heard that your father took a fancy to Jiangnan Oiran Wang Cuiqiao and was ready to include him in his private room, but who knew that he was forcibly snatched away by Xu Jin in the end, I said, your old man is really cowardly." ”

Tang Xianji's face turned dark, and he retorted: "Xu Jin was the governor of Zhejiang at that time, and he had a heavy army, who would dare to provoke him?" You kid doesn't have a low back pain when you stand and talk, if you dare to provoke him before Xu Jin loses power, I, Tang Xianji, write my name upside down, don't talk about you, even your grandfather Dingguo Gong probably doesn't dare to provoke Xu Jin! ”

Xu Wenbi sneered: "My grandfather didn't dare to provoke him, but he Xu Jin provoked my grandfather?" It's not for nothing! ”

Guo Shouqian said hatefully: "Come on, no matter how majestic Xu Jin is, it's a matter of the past, now it's just a water dog, and later we will catch up and smash his carriage, snatch his luggage, and everyone will sprinkle a soak of urine on it......"

"Ben Shao thinks he should be stripped naked and tied up on the streets of Tongzhou City!"

"Haha, that's a good idea!"

When the three evil young men chatted and walked away, a one-eyed fat man appeared sneakily at the gate of the city, it was Yan Shifan. Yan Shifan was very cunning, and obviously didn't want to clash with Xu Jin head-on, so he deliberately used the excuse of diarrhea and didn't get involved.

"A bunch of idiots!" Yan Shifan looked at the back of Guo Shouqian and the others in the distance, pursed his lips, turned around and walked towards the city.

Xu Jin turned over this time, but he was demoted to the supervisor of Nanjing Guozi, obviously the saint was not lost, with Yan Shifan's shrewdness and cunning, he naturally would not be stupid enough to continue to go against Xu Jin.
