"Cao Banban, this palace and my father have taken refuge in your house, what's the matter? Not welcome? ”

At the north gate of Wang Qingtuo, Cao Huachun saw Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty Fujun with a helmet and armor, on the suspension bridge, and his heart trembled at that time.

What are you afraid of, what are you coming!

It's scary enough that Wu Sangui is here...... As soon as the Guanning army arrives, Wang Qingtuo will not be able to become a battlefield!

But now it is Wu Sanfu and Zhu Cihong who are coming, and it is said that Chongzhen will come soon...... It's even more terrifying! Li Zicheng will definitely have to chase and kill! And Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong stayed on Wang Qingtuo's side, and the position of Cao Huachun's family was clear! That is jumping into the Yellow River and can't be washed clean, and when Li Zicheng's people arrive, the whole clan will not be dead?

In addition, why is the prince under the banner of Wu Sangui! Cao Huachun pondered again: What does this mean? Don't believe us? Our family is so loyal, the prince doesn't believe in our family, it's really chilling!

But the big ironclad cavalry who came with Wu Sanfu looked very powerful!

All of them look like giant spirits, and the team is very neat, and they are well-trained at a glance, and the brave guard battalion they have managed is definitely not as good as them...... Could it really be the legendary Yiding Tuqi?

Wu Sangui didn't come, but handed over the ace cavalry under his command to his younger brother Wu Sanfu to escort?

was up and down in his heart, but Cao Huachun's face did not dare to be disrespectful.

Now that Wang Qingtuo's door is wide open, the Wu family's Yiding Tuqi can rush in at any time! If you don't want to exterminate the clan, you have to pretend to be loyal respectfully.

"Why did Chitose Lord say this?" Cao Huachun reacted, and immediately knelt down for Zhu Cihong, "The old slave's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty can be seen by the sun and the moon!" ”

Zhu Cihong had already turned over and dismounted under the support of Wu Sanmei, walked to Cao Huachun with a smile, and bent down to help the old eunuch up.

"Cao Banban, you are so loyal to Daming, this palace is very relieved." Zhu Cihong took Cao Huachun's hand, and while walking towards Wang Qingtuo City, he said in a heavy tone, "Don't hide from Cao Companion, you have now entered Beijing City!" The palace and the father are in exile. So you have to be cautious! ”

"Don't worry," Cao Huachun saw Zhu Cihong's sad face, so he had to bite the bullet and comfort, "Wu Sangui has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the army of King Qin of the Quartet will also arrive in Beizhi in the near future, and when the time comes, we can work together to recover the Beijing Division." ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and deliberately raised his voice: "I can't take it back!" Because the enemies who covet the Beijing division are not only the rebels, but also the eastern captives in the northeast! The palace has already received the report from Wang Yongji and Wu Sangui, and Dolgon, the auxiliary king of the Eastern Captives, has personally led 100,000 iron horsemen to the west...... It is estimated that it will bypass Shanhaiguan and take the entrance to Zunhua and Miyun. It won't be long before the Beizhili area will become a battlefield for the Eastern Captives and the Great War of Rebellion! With the little strength at hand in the imperial court, there is no other way out except for Nan Xing to stay in the capital? Therefore, Wu Sangui did not dare to stay in Yongping for a long time, and he would lead the army to Tianjin and join the palace in the near future. The 1,000 Yiding Turquoise Cavalry who are now guarding the palace are the vanguard of the Guanning Army. ”

Cao Huachun was really shocked and shocked, he originally thought that the news that Beijing had seized for Li Zicheng was bad enough, but he didn't expect that there would be even more terrible news!

100,000 Manchurian soldiers are about to enter the customs and compete with Li Zicheng for Beizhili!

"Cao Banban," Zhu Cihong sighed again, "At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops will be fighting in Beizhi...... Wang Qingtuo has to be reduced to a battlefield here! What are you Cao family going to do? Leave it to fate, or do you want to keep your father and the palace going south together? ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, where did he dare to say that he would not go south?

Don't you go south and wait for Li Chuang or Dongyu to fill in the trenches? Moreover, the Wu family's Yiding Iron Rider has already entered Wang Qingtuo!

"I have gone south to protect the emperor and the chitose master!" Cao Huachun asked, "I don't know where the emperor has been?" ”

Zhu Cihong said: "My father is protected by Wu Xiang, and I can go to Wang Qingtuo tonight." Cao Banban, should you take your soldiers and horses to meet my father? ”

"It should, it should be......" Cao Huachun said repeatedly, "There are 3,000 brave ministers here, and they can all be dispatched to meet the emperor!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Cihong suddenly stopped, pulled Cao Huachun and said, "Then let's go right away!" ”

Yes? Going right away? Cao Huachun was stunned and stunned, thinking: What are you doing when you enter Wang Qingtuo from afar?

Do?

Occupied, of course!

"Wang Qi!" Zhu Cihong called his East Palace guard battalion Qianzong Wang Qi.

"The minister is here!" Wang Qi hurriedly strode forward to listen to the order.

It turned out that it was not the Yiding Tucai who arrived with Zhu Cihong and Wu Sanfu now, but the Tiger Cavalry Battalion adapted from the Han General plus some officers and soldiers of the Donggong Guard Battalion. The Tiger Cavalry Battalion was temporarily led by Wu Sanfu, while the East Palace Guard Battalion was commanded by Wang Qi.

"This palace orders you to lead the people of the headquarters to stay behind Wang Qingtuo!" Zhu Cihong immediately gave an order to Wang Qi, and then said to Cao Huachun, "Cao Banban, order your men and horses to go!" Don't make my father wait! ”

Cao Huachun looked around, a large group of big armor soldiers had already surrounded him, where did he dare not listen to Zhu Cihong? Hurriedly agreed: "Minister, minister obeys the order!" ”

"Good! Let's go! Zhu Cihong hasn't closed his eyes for a few days, and he has traveled more than 100 miles, and now he wants to sleep beautifully. But who made him a dutiful son? Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou are still dozens of miles away! Although there are six or seven thousand rabble under the command of Wu Xiang, Li Ruolian, Zhu Chunjie and others. But there are still pursuers behind you!

Therefore, after Zhu Cihong "won" Wang Qingtuo, he didn't care about resting, so he immediately took Wang Qingtuo's Cao family's men and horses plus Wu Sanfu's large cavalry and turned back to pretend to be "Guanning Iron Cavalry".

This is three or four thousand "Guanning Army"! If it's true, the 8,000 people under Tang Tong's command are not enough for a violent beating!

……

The main forces of Li Guo and Tang Tong's department were already encamped at this time. Now that it's dark, most of the 8,000 people under Tang Tong's command are poor soldiers who can't eat anything good, lack vitamin A, and have night blindness. That is, hundreds of family members plus hundreds of old battalion soldiers under Li Guo's command can be dispatched at night.

So at night, they could only set up camp and let each other rush overnight.

However, the two of them were not worried about getting away with Zhu Cihong (they didn't know that Chongzhen was also there), because Hao Shaoqi had already led hundreds of cavalry movements to the vicinity of Tianjin Wei. And the Dashun army has a very key internal response in Tianjin Wei, and it can definitely cooperate with Hao Shaoqi to win the Tianjin Acropolis.

At that time, Zhu Cihong, the crown prince, will not be the turtle in the urn of the Great Shun Heavenly Soldiers?

In addition, the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers who escorted Zhu Cihong on flight were exhausted after traveling for a day and a night, walking more than 100 miles. During the daytime pursuit today, the Tang family who opened the way in front caught a lot of officials who fell behind, but they got a lot of gold and silver!

Look, one more day, and they'll be ruined.

Therefore, Li Guo and Tang Tong were not in a hurry, so they sent two or three hundred members of the Tang family to bluff behind the Zhu family's prince who ran away, driving them to exhaust their physical strength faster. As for the brigade, they rested peacefully.

Tomorrow, I will chase after him and take the prince of the Zhu family in one fell swoop!

In a tent set up temporarily, when Li Guo and Tang Tong were sitting and drinking each other, they suddenly remembered the voice of the announcement outside: "Master Hou, there is a holy decree!" ”

"Divine decree?" Li Guo was stunned for a moment, "Hurry up and bring it!" ”

A copy of Li Zicheng's dictated decree was quickly delivered to Li Guo, and when Li Guo opened it, his face suddenly changed.

"How?" Tang Tong asked, "Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”

Li said: "The Jingshi has been taken down!" ”

"That's a good thing!" Tang Tong looked at Li Guo's face and was a little puzzled.

"But the son of the Zhu family is not in Beijing!" Li said, "One of the two Zhu thieves who ran out of Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen must be led by the Son of Heaven of the Zhu family!" ”

A burst of surprise flashed on Tang Tong's face, this is an immortal achievement!

"Master Hou, where did you say the Son of Heaven of the Zhu family would be?"

"I don't know!" Li Guo squinted his eyes, "But no matter where he is, he can't escape from the palm of the Great Shun Heavenly Soldier!" ”
