Chapter 139: One More Move

"How many people did you bring?" Zhu Linmiao continued to ask.

"Six hundred rides."

"Purpose?"

"Compete with Li Chengdong."

"What are you robbing?"

Durd was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't know either." ”

Zhu Linmiao frowned.

Shi Lin's right hand unceremoniously fell again, and another finger of Durd became two-dimensional.

"Ahh Durd was covered in cold sweat in pain, and hurriedly said, "I only know that Li Chengdong must have a great merit to grab, I really don't know what it is......"

Zhu Linmiao turned to ask, "Where is Li Chengdong?" ”

"I don't know......" He saw Shi Lin's arm shake, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Spare your life!" I say, I say. A few days ago, I followed him south, and I passed him as soon as I entered Tingzhou, and he may still be in the north. ”

"In addition to you and Li Chengdong, are there any other Qing troops who have entered Tingzhou?"

This involved Prince Ying's people, and after a little hesitation, Durd lost another finger in his right hand.

His screams rang out for nearly a hundred feet, causing the Qing army captives around him to keep looking sideways in this direction. In the past, they had abused the Southern Barbarians so much, when did they ever think that their Lord Mel Zhangjing would be pressed to the ground and tortured by a group of Ming soldiers, and the miserable screams continued one after another like slaughtering pigs, and they were all so frightened that their hearts twitched.

"Also, there is also Mt. Gyala Kinu."

"Anything else?"

"It's gone, it's gone, it's just three teams."

Zhu Linmiao secretly thought that the main targets of Jianyu were still Fuzhou, Funing, and Quanzhou, and the ability to send thousands of elite cavalry to Tingzhou was basically the upper limit. You know, according to this Durd, they don't know that it is the Ming Emperor in Tingzhou Mansion.

The "communication" in the back is much smoother, and Durd basically knows everything.

Zhu Linmiao learned from him that Li Chengdong and Nushan both brought 500 light cavalry into Tingzhou, but they did not cooperate with each other in order to compete for merit. As for their specific location, Durd only knew that both of them had been in Tingzhou for nearly two days.

In other words, these two teams left nearly a day earlier than themselves. Zhu Linmiao ordered the troops to rest for a while, and immediately got on their horses and rushed to Changting. Fortunately, Jianyu didn't know where Longwu was, and it was still very likely that he would arrive in front of the Qing army.

It's just that 300 Qing soldiers were captured alive in the first battle just now, and he had to send another 50 people to escort the prisoners. Combined with the combat attrition, there are only more than 65o soldiers left under him at this time.

Zheng Chenggong was the top military general in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he had almost exhausted his physical strength before, plus more than ten external injuries, but he only took a short break and ate some dry food, and at this time he was already galloping. Of course, the spiritual support of rediscovering the meaning of life also played a great role in his rapid recovery.

Before, he saw that the Ming army had defeated hundreds of Jianyu, and he always thought that the Ming army had at least a thousand people. At this time, he looked at the troops beside him, and only knew that King Chen had only brought six or seven hundred people, and he was even more impressed by Zhu Linmiao in his heart, and he only hated why he hadn't met such a person as King Chen earlier.

Galloping all the way, the horse changed horses when they were tired, and at noon the next day, Zhu Linmiao and his party had arrived at the foot of Changting City.

He looked up and saw a banner on the head of the city, with the word "Chang" written on it, and he didn't know which general it was. There are also patrol soldiers standing under their flags, and there seem to be quite a few of them.

Shi Lin stepped forward to report the name of King Chen, and soon Wang Guomian, the prefect of Tingzhou, ascended to the head of the city to greet Zhu Linmiao respectfully, and then ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

Zhu Linmiao entered the city and saw an old man coming briskly with several officials. When he saw the person's face clearly, his heart suddenly became convinced, thinking that it was the old Huang Pavilion of the Zodiac Zhou.

With Huang Dao Zhou, the emperor must be in Changting City, Zheng Chenggong is honest and does not deceive! Zhu Linmiao turned over and dismounted, and without waiting for Huang Dao Zhou Shili, he first held him up, and hurriedly asked, "Huang Ge Lao, take me to meet the saint quickly." ”

"Why did Your Highness come here to greet you?" Huang Daozhou looked very anxious, shook his head and said, "The Holy Lord is now heading to Shanghang. ”

Zheng Chenggong was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This, didn't Uncle Fuqing want His Majesty to enter Jiangxi through Changting?" ”

"General?" Huang Daozhou looked at him in surprise, "The Holy Lord ordered you to gather your army and go north, why did you come here?" ”

"Da Mu is indeed loyal, and his father's surrender has nothing to do with him, and he also asks the elder to believe in this king." Zhu Linmiao turned around and wondered, "If the saint goes up to Shanghang, why is Huang Ge Lao in Changting?" ”

"Your Majesty was attacked on the way, and Fuqing Boshesheng led the captives away to get out. For the sake of social security, the old minister suggested that His Majesty and the crown prince should go out of Fujing separately. ”

Two ways? Zhu Linmiao almost wanted to cry without tears, Mr. Huang, you are simply doing this redundantly!

Huang Daozhou motioned to a slender-faced military general in red armor beside him, "Lao Chen and General Chang escorted the prince to enter Jiangxi by way of the ancient walled city, and Changting was slightly trimmed. Your Highness is an hour late, and we are already out of the west of the city. ”

Zhu Linmiao frowned and shook his head slightly when he heard this, right now Li Chengdong and Nushan didn't know where the two captives were. With the degree of the queen's car, it takes more than half a day to arrive at the ancient city walled mountain pass, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no encounter with Jianyu on the way. Even the Qing army may be waiting for them to be sent to the door near the ancient walled city.

If he led the army to escort the queen and the prince out of the customs, it would take at least a day to come and go, and on the other side, Longwu would be chased by the Qing army at any time......

"How many sergeants are there in the city?" He turned his head and asked Huang Daozhou.

The slender-faced military general on the side arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Highness, there are nearly 1,000 people under the command of the last general, plus the defenders in the original city, there are more than 1,300 people in armor." ”

Huang Daozhou hurriedly introduced Zhu Linmiao: "This is the deputy general of the general Jiang Zhengxi, General Chang Yongnian. ”

"General Chang." Zhu Linmiao arched his hand and said to the zodiac, "It is not appropriate to leave the city at this time." Huang Ge Lao, where are the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"I'm resting in the palace."

As he was talking, he saw a eunuch rushing over, gave a hasty salute, and said to Zhu Linmiao: "Her Royal Highness the Queen sent King Chen to meet him." ”

Zhu Linmiao hurriedly followed Huang Daozhou and others into the palace, and walked quickly to the back hall under the leadership of the eunuch, and saw the queen's two maids packing their luggage, and the nurse stood aside with the prince in her arms.

Before he could salute, Queen Zeng hurriedly greeted him and said, "Please ask King Chen to escort him to Shanghang!" She had already heard of Chen Wang Shanzhan, and only by letting him go to escort her could she be sure.

"That's what the minister also means." Zhu Linmiao immediately nodded and said, "It's just that the Empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stay in Changting City at this time. According to the information obtained by the minister, there are two Jianyu cavalry wandering in Tingzhou Mansion, and if they go to the ancient city wall at this time, they may be ambushed by captives.

"And there are thousands of soldiers in Changting City, and there are General Chang in the town, and hundreds of light cavalry are difficult to attack. The queen and His Royal Highness the crown prince are temporarily in the city, and when I welcome them, they will lead their troops to escort them to Jiangxi with the saint. ”

Empress Zeng nodded hurriedly and said, "Everything is according to King Chen's words." ”
