At this time, the sky was already bright, and looking at the general outline of the men and horses from afar, it turned out to be all cavalry!

Tens of thousands of horses and horses are all cavalry, majestic, terrifying, and even more makes Chang Yu rack his brains to guess where the hell this came out!

Zhou Yuji hurriedly arrived, turned over and dismounted, stood beside Chang Yu, and stared at the north with a deep frown: "Who is so generous?" ”。

"Find out right away"

Chang Yu responded lightly, and in the distance, it could be seen that the probing horses of the officers and soldiers had approached the advance of the unknown cavalry.

Immediately, more than ten people rushed out of the cavalry formation to meet them, and Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji's expressions instantly became nervous.

Whew, the two of them gasped at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, and Chang Yu even slapped his fist heavily.

The scouting horse and the cavalry approached for a moment, and then beat the horse back, and there was no conflict, which showed that it must be their own people, so the two breathed a sigh of relief.

As for whose people, when the detective horse rushed to the city to report, the two were dumbfounded!

The Emperor's Man!

The Imperial Champion came to act on the orders of the Emperor!

Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji were stunned!

Jin Wuwei is one of the emperor's 26 guards, divided into four guards, front and back, left and right, the front and rear guards are responsible for inspecting the north and south of the imperial city and the gates of the Beijing Division, the left and right guards are responsible for the east and west of the imperial city and the gates of the Beijing Division, and the four guards have their own yamen, which is an important military force in the guards.

However, the duty of the guards is to protect the imperial city and inspect the capital, how did they suddenly appear in the Taiyuan territory without any warning, and there are nearly more than 10,000!

Chang Yu can't figure it out!

Although there were Teng Xiang Siwei who went out of Beijing to suppress bandits under the leadership of Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong, such a sudden appearance still made Chang Yu flash his waist.

Come and act on the orders of the emperor!

What to do?

Chang Yu didn't know, Zhou Yuji didn't know, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it now, since it was from the capital, then it would be handed over to Chang Yu to deal with, at this moment, the thief army under the southern city was under his nose, that was the top priority.

"Factory father, this matter is up to you" Zhou Yuji said and turned over his horse and hurried away.

Outside the moat in the north of the city, a group of more than 100 people galloped over, to Chang Yu turned over and dismounted fifty steps away, more than ten people walked quickly, the first four people were burly, their faces were full of wind and frost, but they were excited.

"Jinwu avant-garde Lu Xing, Jinwu guard Zhang Ji, Jinwu left guard Liu Suiping, Jinwu right guard Dong Haicheng knocked to see the factory governor"

The four commanders of the Jinwu Four Guards clasped their fists and saluted Chang Yu, and the deputies behind him also followed with a respectful look.

Chang Yu returned the salute with his fists and looked at the four of them: "You guys have been in the dust all the way, let's go to the city."

The four of them bowed their heads and thanked them.

Chang Yu ordered the general on duty in the north of the city to lead the four guards into the city to enter the camp to rest, and he took the four guards to go to the city towards the south city.

"The factory master is not curious about what I am waiting for? Or is it known" Dong Haicheng asked with a smile while walking.

In fact, these guards are no strangers to Chang Yu, you must know that Chang Yu started from scratch in the imperial city at the beginning, and there was a sentence that the imperial city was unparalleled with fists and feet, and he specialized in beating the guards!

In addition, in addition to attracting eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, his boxing match is also a large customer group, so who is messing around in the imperial city doesn't know this popular fried chicken.

Then Chang Yu was ordered to go out of the city, and in the blink of an eye, he made a Dongchang commander, and then turned his head to mix up a Taiyuan overseer, who was in a high position at this time, and no one knew.

However, compared with the literati group's verbal criticism of him, Chang Yu's reputation among the pro-guard army and the eunuch group is the kind that is off the charts.

Approachable and has no shelves, and is generous and likes to make friends!

Therefore, Dong Haicheng and others have an indescribable sense of closeness to Chang Yu, although they are not familiar with the value, and they have not even spoken.

But after all, they are all fellow villagers from the palace.

"I don't know, I'm curious, but I'm not in a hurry, because there are more urgent things to deal with right now!" Chang Yu smiled bitterly.

Dong Haicheng raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chang Yu under the eyes of each other: "Factory father, but the thief army ......"

Well! Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Wait for half a step, at this moment, the soldiers are coming to the city!" ”

The four of them were surprised! Silence!

"You're just in time!" Chang Yu suddenly smiled again.

Dong Haicheng and the others looked at each other, their faces heavy.

In the wilderness south of Taiyuan City, the thief army is all over it, and the wind and cold overnight make these thieves tired, tired, cold and ruthless, and the anger in their hearts is just waiting to be ignited and burned to ashes.

However, the officers and soldiers did not throw out a single flame to ignite it, only nearly 10,000 heads told the cruelty of the officers and soldiers in the wilderness!

The anger subsided, and then the fear and anxiety followed!

Ma Chongxi and Ren Jirong's faces were pale, and after the soldiers reported it, the two stood in front of the neatly stacked head-level long wall and were silent for a long time, not moving at all!

When did the officers and soldiers be so cold-blooded and brutal, slaughtering more than 10,000 prisoners, it was simply the extermination of human nature.

Looking up at the majestic and tall Taiyuan City, the muscles on Ma Chongxi's face couldn't help twitching a few times, and Ren Jirong next to him wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

My legs are shaking! A trace of panic flashed in Ren Jirong's heart, thinking about when he had this kind of fear, why was it so useless at this time, the heads in front of him were like countless evil ghosts glaring, and the city heads in the distance roared like demons, pressing him out of breath, and there was a kind of fear swimming all over his body.

"Report to the general, the officers and soldiers dug several trenches within five miles outside the moat, about one zhang wide and six feet deep, intricately horizontal and longitudinal, and the bottom of the ditch was set with sharp wood."

When the two of them were weak, a spy came to report, and the person who was already blue was already black at this time!

Look at the head of the city, you can vaguely see the dense Ming army, and the city is also densely packed, that is, people are waiting for it.

"Pass the order to go down, rest on the spot, don't move before the arrival of the old camp, and scatter all the horses, and the Ming army will be deployed in detail around Taiyuan City."

Ma Chongxi said in a deep voice, then turned around and walked towards the back of the formation, but somehow suddenly he stumbled and almost fell.

Ren Jirong bit his lip, took a long breath, and stepped up to follow: "Brother Ma, how to deal with these heads, it really affects morale here!" ”

"There are two sides to everything, it can affect morale at this time, and it may also stimulate the fighting spirit at other times, keep it and show it to the lord" Ma Chongxi's face turned pale.

The thief army rested, but the city did not dare to slack off, and took his own soldiers to patrol the military affairs around the city.

Chang Yu took the leader of Jin Wuwei into the city and then closed the door, and more than ten burly eunuchs guarded the door, prohibiting outsiders from approaching.

Including Zhou Yuji, but he was not interested in joining in the fun, these emperor's guards had their eyes on the top of their heads, and they were very arrogant, and the commanders just now obviously had eye contact with him, and they should also recognize his identity, but they didn't even see a salute.

Moreover, the emperor sent his guards over at this time, obviously looking for Chang Yu to plot something, and he didn't know or want to know what was going on.

The dignified guards are coming from thousands of miles, what is the so-called?

Charge!

Chongzhen sent Jinwu Siwei to Taiyuan to escort the silver back to Beijing! To the north, to be exact.

Although the prince blacked a lot of silver in the capital at this time, but the Ming Dynasty used too many places with silver at this time, the gap was too big, the southwest was Zhang Xianzhong's chickens and dogs jumping, the Yangtze River basin was killed by Li Zicheng's subordinate Bai Wangbu, the most tight is still the north, the Manchu Dynasty is eyeing the iron horse to the south at any time.

However, the border army was short of pay and food, and they all relied on hanging in one breath, and it had reached an extraordinary moment, and if it was delayed any longer, the Qing army would have to do it, and their own people would be scattered.

Money needed!

Chang Yu has done a lot in Taiyuan, and this Chongzhen also knows it, so he sent someone to pull the silver.

Chang Yu, who came to pull the silver, was mentally prepared, but he actually sent personal guards and more than 10,000 people, which made him a little confused.

It's definitely not that simple.

But when Lu Xing took out a secret letter from his arms, Chang Yu suddenly realized and was ecstatic.

The letter was written by Chongzhen.

"Help you, don't take it personally!"

Although the salary is not a pretense, sending people to Chang Yu is the fundamental purpose of Jin Wuwei's trip to Beijing this time.

Because of Chang Yu's dream, Chongzhen knew that if he couldn't change the status quo at this time, he would die, and Daming would die.

The key to changing this status quo is whether Taiyuan can be held, if Taiyuan is lost, it will cause irreparable negative impact, and the next Datong, Xuanfu ...... The butterfly effect is extremely terrifying.

The thief army besieged Taiyuan with hundreds of thousands of troops, and Taiyuan only had more than 70,000 troops.

But at this time, the Ming Dynasty has no troops to be deployed, Datong, Xuanfu are border defense areas, and the defense line is long, under the peep of the Manchu Dynasty, the troops are insufficient, how can there be more troops to help Taiyuan.

At this time, Chongzhen can only use the people of Jingying, but after the change of Jingying from the civil fort, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left to survive.

Rather than this, it is better to let Wang Jiayan train and tidy up first before taking it out and using it, so Chongzhen gritted his teeth and used the pro-guards.

The seventy-two guards of the Beijing camp, including the twenty-six guards of the pro-guard army, to put it bluntly, the pro-guard army belongs to the establishment of the Beijing camp, but it is not under its jurisdiction and command, because they belong to the personal soldiers of the Son of Heaven, the so-called "Shangzhi Guards"

At this time, all the armies of the Ming Dynasty were corrupt, and the emperor's pro-army was no exception, but after all, it was a pro-guard army, and the treatment was better than the general army on weekdays.

At this time, Chongzhen gritted his teeth and pulled out the four guards of Jinwu, and all the cavalry, just by virtue of this, he knew that he had invested and was ruthless, and he knew how important Taiyuan's position in his heart was at this time.

Especially the last sentence to Chang Yu, don't be negative, say it's a compliment or a heartbeat, in fact, anyone can hear a threatening taste.

"When did you leave Beijing?" Chang Yu was puzzled, nearly 10,000 people left Beijing, and he didn't receive a single bit of news from the commander of Dongchang, which was incredible.

"Five days ago" Dong Haicheng stretched out five fingers: "Hurry day and night"

As if knowing Chang Yu's doubts, he said: "When I went out of the city, except for a few people including me who knew the purpose of this trip, the rest of the people didn't know!" ”

So that's the case, Chang Yu realized that Chongzhen had signed a confidentiality agreement for them.

"Five days and nights, running thousands of miles, it's not easy for you, eat and drink well, rest well, and get ready to do a big job!" Chang Yu got up and said with a smile.

"Master Factory, when will the lowly people leave, this matter is urgent, and it needs to be handled immediately." Lu Xing and a few people only knew the destination of this trip, but the purpose was not clear, they only thought that they were here to bet silver, after all, Chongzhen's secret letter they couldn't open it, and they might not understand it if they saw it.

"The matter of the silver is indeed urgent, the governor has sent people to prepare, and he can set off in the afternoon at the earliest, but now the siege of the thief army is a top priority, since you are here, why don't you take a hand"

"My lord, I was ordered to pay the salary, but I didn't ......," Dong Haicheng hurriedly said.

"What the governor said here counts" Chang Yu raised the secret letter in his hand, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to look at everyone: "Eat, drink, sleep well, and rest well to have the strength to work"! As he spoke, he turned around and went out.

Dong Haicheng, Lu Xing and the others looked at each other, silent, no one wanted to fight, but obviously a few of them couldn't run away, because Chang Yu's words were the clearest, the secret letter in his hand was actually a holy decree, and now the command of Jin Wuwei had belonged to him.
