Coming out of the palace, Liu Hong gradually went straight to the station of the Thousand Households of Wansui Mountain, and Yan Yingyuan and Zu Qiuqing, who learned the news, were very excited, the former was out of the grace of serving the country, and the latter wanted to return to his homeland to correct his name.

Liu Hong immediately summoned all the soldiers of the Qianhu Institute to assemble in the camp, and the soldiers of the Qianhu Institute were still in normal training, and they were all confused when they received the assembly order.

A quarter of an hour later, more than 1,000 soldiers stood neatly and neatly in the open space outside the camp.

The front of the hundred households phalanx is the sword and shield hand, the shield of the Ming Dynasty mostly uses the round wrist shield, in order to increase the defensive area of the shooter, Liu Hong gradually specially adopted the pentagonal long shield that is rare in the Ming Dynasty, with a solid wood as the body, lined with cowhide, and the iron coat outside, the weight is moderate, and the defense area is greatly increased and the crossbow arrows are impermeable.

Behind the sword and shield hand is the AK hundred households phalanx, which is Liu Hongji's killer weapon, each soldier holds the AK in front of his chest, and the military appearance is not like a unit that has just been established for two months.

At the end of the square are ten spearmen and a hundred households, the Beijing camp lacks horses, and now the thousand households of Banzai Mountain are also trained in the form of infantry.

It was the summer season, the sun was shining on the land of the north, and the teenagers who were still stepping up their training just now were all sweating, but none of the soldiers raised their hands to wipe the sweat, and the sweat flowed down their cheeks and into their necks, dripping down the scorched yellow earth.

Liu Hong gradually stepped up to the high platform, he didn't know how to tell these teenagers what happened next, most of them were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they could only enter middle school according to later generations.

I thought I would have at least a year to train them to become a strong army, but now ......

Liu Hong gradually looked at the tanned teenagers on the ground and took a deep breath.

"Soldiers, just an hour ago, I got a secret report that Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, colluded with Jianyu to welcome the new master and slaughter my Ming people!"

After thinking about it, Liu Hongjian still planned to tell these teenagers directly that they had the right to know.

"For two hundred years, the Mongols and Jurchens have repeatedly violated the border, and they have been blocked under the Shanhai Pass.

Soldiers, tell me, is there such a despicable and shameless person in the world? ”

Liu Hong's muscles gradually became green, and he shouted hoarsely to more than a thousand teenagers.

Hearing Liu Hong's slightly agitating words, the originally quiet camp was instantly broken.

"Bingfa Shanhaiguan, kill Wu Sangui!"

"Bingfa Shanhaiguan, kill Wu Sangui!"

All the soldiers of the Banzai Mountain Thousand Households have family members who died in the Jianju or died in the people's army, they were born with hatred for these Ming rebels, and now the spear is in hand, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and wolves.

Liu Hong gradually waved his hand to signal the excited teenagers to be quiet.

"The imperial court is very tight, and now the initial training of the Beijing camp is overwhelmed, the emperor is angry, the ancestors have clouds, the king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated and the ministers are dead.

As the Earl of Daming, this official took over the errand of pacifying the border pass, and I will meet with Wu Sangui for a while to see how he repays the country's kindness.

I also want to let the wild boar skin of the Manchu Qing know that my Ming is not so easy to bully, I want to let them know that those who offend my Ming will be punished even if they are far away! ”

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

The soldiers are boiling, although they have experienced harsh training, they are still young people, swords, guns, crossbow horses, iron horses and glaciers, so that their blood is surging.

"This is to the north, the mountains are high and the road is far away, the danger is very dangerous, the cowardly can withdraw, no shame! The official will record the list of this trip and report it to the emperor for future rewards. The brave, the avengers, join us in the war! Disband! ”

After Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, he stepped down directly from the high platform, Feng Dunhou and Chang Yu were responsible for counting the number of soldiers who went to the border pass, and Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu were in charge of grain and armaments, but he was idle.

Watching the swarthy teenagers rush to sign up one after another, Liu Hong's heart gradually became heavier, and after two months of getting along, the teenagers trusted him very much, a commander who had no official authority.

Now, he is going to take them to an almost impossible task, alas! It's really damn bad, how did Lao Tzu take this errand!

That night, Liu Hongjian spent the night at his home in the capital, Liu Honggradually told his father Liu Delong and Sun Xiuxiu about the changes in the border town, Liu Delong scolded Wu Sangui for eating inside and out, and there was always someone to clean him up!

But as soon as he heard that Liu Hong was going to take more than a thousand recruits to pacify Wu Sangui, Lao Xiucai's face turned green, people are always like this, as long as it is not about themselves, they always hope that others will come forward.

"Son, three generations of our family...... Alas! Lao Xiucai stopped talking, glanced at Liu Hong's gradually resolute face, and sighed.

"That's it, my son has grown up, has his own ambitions, as a noble of the court, he should share his worries for the emperor, it is for his father to see him for a short time, go ahead, I am at home, everything is safe."

After some kind words and persuasion, he coaxed his father away, Liu Hong gradually didn't dare to look at Sun Xiuxiu's eyes beside him, and when he said something just now, Sun Xiuxiu didn't speak.

He knew that the saddest thing was his wife.

But Sun Xiuxiu was surprisingly gentle, and when she entered the room, Sun Xiuxiu took the initiative to throw herself into Liu Hongji's arms, as if she wanted to feel the last warmth, Liu Hongjian just wanted to speak, but Sun Xiuxiu covered her mouth with her hand.

"Husband doesn't need to say much, Xiuxiu understands, Xiuxiu's family died in Jian's captivity, and now that her husband is leading the army, Xiuxiu is also looking forward to her husband avenging my family!

Xiuxiu will not drag her husband's hind legs, her husband will just go into battle to kill the enemy, Xiuxiu will pray for her husband at home, and pray that her husband will win and return triumphantly! ”

After speaking, Sun Xiuxiu's shoulders trembled, and tears still fell uncontrollably.

That night, Liu Hong gradually lingered with his little wife, and did not fall asleep until the night after that.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Hong gradually got up and went out secretly, and went to the barracks secretly with the bull stick mallet, who was also tiptoeing out of the house.

What they didn't know was that just after closing the door, the two women opened their eyes and burst into tears......

——————————————————————————————————

Shanhaiguan, north of Yanshan, south of Bohai Sea, Ming Hongwu 14 years to build the city to build the customs guard, because of its mountain near the sea, so the name of Shanhaiguan, also known as Yuguan.

Its terrain is dangerous, mighty and majestic, choking the throat of the border county, the guarantee of the Beijing division, and the inscription of Jinshi Xiao Xian in the Chenghua period is called "the first pass in the world".

"Peiqing, how far is it from Shanhaiguan?" Liu Hong's face gradually looked tired, and he turned back to Feng Houdun, the deputy Qianhu, and asked, Feng Houdun's word is Peiqing.

The capital is more than 600 miles away from Shanhaiguan, because of the urgent military situation, the long live mountain thousand households traveled three times a day (one house 30 miles), and finally arrived near Shanhaiguan on July 11.

"My lord, this place is still forty miles away from Shanhaiguan, and there is a county town not far ahead, so you can rest temporarily!" Feng Dunhou checked the map of the army and replied.

Due to the scarcity of horses, there were only more than 20 horses in Qianhu, all of which were used to transport grain and materials, Liu Hong gradually looked back at the tired soldiers and frowned.

"After many days of rapid marching, the soldiers are exhausted, let's camp here today, let the soldiers all repair well!"

Of course, it is good to live in the county seat, but this place is already very close to Shanhaiguan, and he is worried that there is Wu Sangui's meticulous work in the city, and this is a secret operation.

Before you get a definite report, you must keep your spirits up and go all out.

The soldiers immediately began to set up camp, and Liu Hongjian summoned Chang Yu, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Zu Qiuqing and others for a small meeting.

Throughout the ages, the strongest city defense, most of them were broken from the inside, Shanhaiguan stood on the seaside for more than 200 years, even the Manchu iron cavalry, can only avoid its edge, detour.

Zu Qiu Qingxue was ashamed, and as soon as she sat down, she couldn't help but want to speak.

He was originally born in Liaodong, so he naturally understood the situation on the side of the border army, and with his meaning, he, Wang Lang, and Xingshan went to detain the customs, claiming that they were lost and wanted to return to the border army and serve Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui's father married Zu Dashou's sister, Zu Dashou should be Wu Sangui's uncle, and later Zu Dashou married Wu Sangui's aunt, so Zu Dashou became Wu Sangui's uncle again.

From a closer look, Wu Sangui is Zu Qiuqing's cousin, and he will not kill him, and when he enters the city, he will make an appointment to open the city gate and lead Liu Hong into the city.

Liu Hong gradually thought about it and rejected Zu Qiuqing's proposal, not to mention whether Wu Sangui would let Zu Qiuqing go, even if he opened the city gate, how could they, the 1,200 people, be the opponents of tens of thousands of border troops in the city.

Thinking that it was to give Wu Sangui a head, Liu Hong gradually glanced at Zu Qiuqing, and Zu Qiuqing embarrassedly stuck out his tongue and sat down again.

The meeting lasted an hour before the action was finalized.

The next day, the Qianhu Station was still stationed, but only rushed out of the camp with five horsemen and went straight to Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is the first pass from the east of the Great Wall, for more than 200 years, relying on the iron rope Xiongguan, countless times to resist the invasion of the Mongols and Jurchens, how many generals and warriors hated the pass, how many iron horses and horses broke halberds in the yellow sand.

Far away, Liu Hong gradually saw this pass standing by the sea, the magnificent city wall made people feel stagnant, took a breath, Liu Hong gradually patted the horse and walked towards the city gate with the four people.

"Who are you? Why do you want to deduct it? ”

A guerrilla on the city wall shouted, seeing that there were only five horsemen under the city, the guerrilla didn't care much.

"General, under Liu Neng, who came from the northwest, is the deputy general of the Dashun Army, Ruhou Liu Zongmin, and has come to send 100,000 heavenly soldiers to General Wu to help Wu Dashuai achieve great causes!"

Liu Hong gradually reported his home door and arched towards the city.

"Dashun Army? Isn't Li Zicheng dead? ”

Of course, the guerrilla general knew about the so-called Dashun State, and when he heard that Li Zicheng was killed by a nobody, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed and retreated to the northwest.

"General, Lord Chuang Wang was killed by traitors, and the current Dashun Army is led by Li Zijing, the younger brother of King Chuang,

Li Dashuai has admired Wu Zongbing for a long time, and this time he came, and he came to surrender on behalf of Li Dashuai! I hope the general will report on his behalf! I can't thank you enough! ”

Liu Hong gradually dismounted and took out the paperwork from his waist, bent down and handed it over!

This is a big deal, if it is really as the people in the city say, Li Zijing came to surrender, it will be a great help to what Lord Wu will accomplish, and the guerrillas in the city will not dare to slack off.

"You submit the paperwork, and I'll report to General Wu!" After saying that, he drew down an iron frame from the city.

"Yes, General!" Liu Hong gradually smiled and put the paperwork into the box.
