On June 10, the northern Pilu Monastery was crowded with people and walked in a hurry.

The military adviser in charge of logistics in the Privy Council returned the temple to the local monks, and then quickly rushed to Zhu Cihong's body and said, "Your Majesty, the various ministries have been prepared. ”

"Set off to get Deer Town and rescue the Flying Bear Regiment!" Zhu Cihong showed no nostalgia, walked to the court, turned over neatly and rode a snow-white tall horse with no miscellaneous hair.

After walking out of the temple, Zhu Cihong looked far away, and more than 10,000 guards and Ming troops of various departments lined up several roads, walking on the field road. The disciplined army exudes slaughter and self-confidence, even though they face ten times as many enemies as the Ming army. But when Zhu Cihong ordered the rescue of Paoze, the cheers of the soldiers soared into the sky.

When 10,000 people were heading to the west, two groups of people came one after the other and went retrograde to the east and ran with Zhu Cihong.

The first way was a man in a flying fish suit led by Ning Wei, obviously, this was an officer of the Jinyi Guard. It's just that Wei Yunshan and Zhang Zhen were both stationed out, and the one who came to see Zhu Cihong today was a newcomer that Zhu Cihong had never seen.

Ning Wei leaned into Zhu Cihong's ear and introduced in a low voice: "Shengshang, this is Yu Biao, a hundred households in Shanxi Jinyiwei. The things that the Holy One wanted to verify have been found out. As expected......"

Zhu Cihong was slightly happy in his heart. He thought he was an idler, but he didn't expect it to play a key role.

Yu Biao is a man with a rich figure, looking like a rich merchant and landlord who has escaped the rain and a brocade-clothed guard officer, he is out of breath at the moment, and he doesn't know whether he is galloping all the way or the excitement of seeing the emperor. At this moment, he tried his best to calm his mood and stepped forward to salute: "Weichen Jinyi Wei Baihu Yu Biao, long live my emperor, long live long live." This time, it was his subordinates who got the information of the first-class secret agent and urgently came to report to His Highness. This person is Fu Shan, Lord Fu Qing, the original Shanxi celebrity, this time Yi Rong entered the Shun army tent, and sure enough, he heard the situation. This time is indeed like the news that the saint asked Weichen to investigate. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded slowly, and his heart relaxed a little.

Yu Biao saw that Zhu Cihong was in a good mood, and said: "Your Majesty is really clever, in fact, when Weichen sneaked into Pingding Prefecture, Lord Fu Qing was even more surprised than Weichen. He was already anxious and didn't know how to get the word out. Unexpectedly, the saint had already expected that this matter would be really smooth. ”

As he spoke, Yu Biao handed a top-secret letter to Ning Wei.

Ning Wei checked it and opened it gently, and when he looked at it, he called a few military advisors from the Privy Council. Not long after, several military advisors came, all holding a Yongle ceremony. Obviously, this is an encrypted cipher. Not long after, Ning Wei took the letter that had been decrypted against the code book and handed it to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong read it carefully and thoughtfully.

"Shanxi's Jinyi guards have done a good job, and they have good students to test their merits." After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, Ning Wei went to lead the excited Yu Biao away.

At this moment, another noisy noise sounded outside.

Zhu Cihong looked over and suddenly became a little curious: "Who is that tall man?" There is such a tall man in our army? ”

The man was more than seven feet tall, and he was more than one meter nine tall.

Personal combat effectiveness is not proportional to height, especially more than 1.9 meters tall, ordinary formations have a headache, and there are more opportunities to be beaten and arrowed than others. But such a tall person, if he has martial arts and brute strength, he is really a good meat shield to charge into battle.

Ning Wei quickly figured out the situation, and pulled the big man with a constipated face.

"So this is the real strong soldier of my Ming Dynasty? The Son of Heaven's personal guard, what a majesty, what a good man's appearance! Oh, this armor is really iron? If you want to say that it is paper and cotton, it is actually not bad. Let's just say that the cotton armor, I also want a pair, and it is not warm to wear in winter. It's good to wear iron this summer, and it's cool to wear it closely. ”

Ning Wei: "......"

"This big brother, why don't you ignore me? These big brothers, why don't you ignore me? ”

Pro-Army Guards: "......"

"Am I not right? What's the matter, look down on me? ”

"I was also recruited by the Flying Bear Regiment, you look down on me, but if you don't look down on the Flying Bear Troupe's ability to see people, you won't be able to do it!"

……

Ning Wei couldn't wait to find two dough to plug his ears, but at this moment, he was close to Zhu Cihong, so he couldn't bear to have a seizure, and led this tall man over: "Holy Lord, this person claims to be the herald of the Flying Bear Regiment. There was no such person in the account books of the army, but he did take out the token of the special recruitment of the Flying Bear Regiment. ”

Zhu Cihong listened to the broken words all the way and smiled: "You are a soldier of the Flying Bear Regiment?" Yes, this frame is a bit of a cost. But ah, to be a good man, entering the barracks is the first step. If you want to be a warrior and warrior who can be looked down upon in the army, you have to rely on your hands and feet to make meritorious deeds to earn prestige. Haha, you came to me, what order did you follow from the Flying Bear Regiment?? ”

It turned out that this person was the Shi Dangdang in Shijiazhuang.

"You're the Emperor? Oh, I, oh no, what does the play say. Grass people, grass people can't speak, knock ......" Shi Dangdang didn't finish half of his words, and was gently kicked by Ning Wei behind his knee.

Ning Wei said in a low voice: "In the future, I will teach you a good military salute, now, since you are a soldier of the Flying Bear Regiment, you are a subordinate of the Guards Legion, first bow to the Holy Lord!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live......" Shi Dang saw that Ning Wei was serious, his eyes seemed to be able to eat people, and he suddenly became honest, and said in a low voice: "Villain...... Ah no, it was a subordinate who had military intelligence, and he was ordered by General Xu of Feixiong Tuanlang to send a letter to the saint. ”

As he spoke, another secret letter was handed to Zhu Cihong.

This time, MeSign did not write in ciphertext, and when you open the envelope, you can see the plaintext, and the content is very simple.

Zhu Cihong glanced at it and sighed lightly: "Loyal ministers and good generals, how rare." ”

"There must be a secret place for the Shun army to change generals, Li Yan is cunning and insidious, Wanwang Shengshang must not rescue our ......"

The Flying Bear Regiment obviously intends to focus on the overall situation and prevent Zhu Cihong from losing the strategic initiative because of the Flying Bear Regiment.

"If the king regards the minister as blocked, then the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as general anesthesia, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman. The king regards the minister as illustrated, and the minister regards the king as an enemy. Of course, I can compensate for the sacrifice of the soldiers, but since there is such a way, this loyal general can be preserved, so what? Zhu Cihong thought in his heart, and his confidence was even firmer.

Skimming over this stubble, Zhu Cihong's eyes fell on Shi Dangdang, a tall man, and he was a little curious: "Right now, the flying bear group is deep in the encirclement, and eighty percent of the flying pigeons have also been shot down. If you can choose to come out to fight your way out of the encirclement, and finally you can successfully break through under the presence of thousands of soldiers, you are also a warrior. For this meritorious service, you should go to the division examination to receive the reward. In the future, the court will not fail the sacrifices of the warriors. ”

Listening to Zhu Cihong's words of appreciation, Shi Dangdang suddenly twisted, and said with a smile: "Actually...... Actually, it's nothing. My Shi family gathers here, and the roads are skillful everywhere. Recently, there have been a lot of rebellions, Tartars, rogues, bandits, and officials...... Ahem, in short, the world is in chaos. The family also built many roads on the mountain for thousands of people from Zhuangzi to go up the mountain to avoid disasters. This time, the villain walked out of the town and went up the mountain, and there was nothing difficult about the rest of the matter. I don't have much merit, and I can't take advantage of Your Majesty......"

"Hahaha......" After hearing this, Zhu Cihong suddenly laughed: "I was stunned, I didn't expect you to be a sincere person." But ah, though, you don't think about it. This message is a great achievement, and your sincerity has made you make another great achievement. ”

Shi Dangdang looked dazed.

Ning Wei understood the cause and effect, and pulled Shi Dangdang: "You can confide in this hidden mountain road, and you can make a great contribution again." What are you doing stupidly? Don't thank you yet! ”

"Grass People...... Ah no, my subordinate Shi dares to be, thank you to my emperor Longen! Shi Dangdang laughed out loud.

Zhu Cihong laughed and rode away, he wanted to hold another military meeting.

Ning Wei sent Shi Gandang away and followed, thinking of Zhu Cihong's smile in his heart, he suddenly chuckled.

"The saint is so excited, but it doesn't look like he is going to be a fierce general in front of the line to save the flying bear group from the path. Could it be ......" Ning Wei thought in his heart, and suddenly became nervous.

……

The official road leading to the town of Orolu is in tatters, and the farther away from Gyeonggi, the more scarce the energy of the court becomes, and it can no longer be taken care of. Therefore, the official road leading from Zhending Mansion to Lulu Town is also tattered and inconvenient to walk.

Fortunately, the Royal Guards Regiment has a baggage battalion. In addition to being responsible for hauling military supplies, grain, grass and munitions, the contingent of engineers has also grown. If it weren't for the recent successive battles, Zhu Cihong would have planned to set up an engineer battalion alone.

Although there was no camp, the sappers still built bridges and paved roads all the way, opened roads in the mountains, and built bridges in the water, so that more than 10,000 soldiers of the Ming Army such as the Guards Regiment arrived from Zhending Mansion to the east of Luzhen more than ten miles east of Luzhen in just two days.

The closer they got to Luzhen, the more vigilant the Guards Legion became, and after knowing that the Shun army liked to ambush, the Guards Legion scouted the horses in all directions, scouting and riding all over the place, and the meticulous work was also extra attentive.

In charge of the offensive on this road was Xie Junyou, the former battalion of the Shun army.

As the elite vanguard of the front battalion, Tian Hu led the team to ambush three times, but was easily discovered by the Ming army, and a fierce battle made Tian Hu lose his troops and lose his generals, and retreated more and more towards Lulu Town under the wailing all the way, so that he finally stopped retreating after getting the main force of the Shun army in Luquan Village east of Lulu Town.

As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the front battalion merged with the main forces of various departments and engaged the main forces of the official army.

This time, the official army sent a cavalry battalion under Liu Zhensuo.

Three thousand iron cavalry rushed, Xie Junyou was caught off guard, and Tian Hu's department, which had been defeated in consecutive battles, was defeated by Liu Zhen. One collapsed, and the whole army was in turmoil.

Xie Junyou's eyes suddenly turned red at this moment, and while personally rushing to block the enemy's movement with his personal guards, he hurriedly asked Liu Xiyao for help.

Knowing that the former camp was forced to fake the show, Liu Xiyao did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Bai Heming and Liu Tichun to set off quickly to respond, and he personally led the rest of the troops to take the lead in the rescue.

Seeing that reinforcements finally came, Xie Junyou could finally breathe a sigh of relief and retreated again under the reinforcements.

The officers and soldiers were unforgiving, and the second attack, under the big battle, even Liu Xiyao was a little unbearable. To Liu Xiyao's relief, Bai Heming and Liu Tichun's soldiers and horses also arrived back and forth.

The strength of the Shun army was three times that of the official army in the blink of an eye.

Of course, this is on paper. After a battle, no one knows whether the various departments are still neat and complete.

In any case, seeing that reinforcements were coming, the strength turned into superiority, and the Shun army was no longer cowardly, and engaged in battle one after another.

Seeing that the momentum was no longer in their favor, the Guards Regiment and the rest of the Ming troops finally stopped more than two miles away from the town of Lulu and set up camp.

Seeing that the official army had stopped, the Shun army also followed suit, and retreated with cheers after Li Zicheng led the soldiers and horses of the middle battalion to arrive. The two sides confronted each other under the gaze of the Flying Bear Regiment on the city wall of Luzhen, and the atmosphere was solemn.

With the official army and the Shun army units in place one after another, the town of Lulu suddenly became much quieter, as if it was making a footnote to this big battle.

At the head of the city, Xu Yanqi took the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Flying Bear Regiment around him, with tears in his eyes: "The saint is here, the Guards Legion is here, brothers, our robes are here!" They didn't leave us, they came! ”

Although, Xu Yanqi has written to Zhu Cihong to regard the Flying Bear Group as an outcast.

Although, Xu Yanqi is ready to stick here and guard to the last person.

Albeit...... Xu Yanqi forcefully asked himself not to think about the idea that there would be reinforcements.

But when the reinforcements really came, when Zhu Cihong really abandoned the Flying Bear Regiment and rushed to the rescue. Xu Yanqi, a seven-foot man, still couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

Behind him, the soldiers of the Flying Bear Regiment who stood firm shouted in unison: "Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live our emperor, the Guards Legion is victorious, we are saved!" ”

"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live my emperor, the Guards Legion wins, we have been saved!"

"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live my emperor, the Guards Legion wins, we have been saved!"

……

He ...... You're really here to save me......" Somewhere in a corner of the city, Kong Luoling muttered, ironing in his heart.

……

In Dujiazhuang, a seven or eight-year-old boy quietly ran out of the yard, climbed a tree, and took out a dozen dates. Just as the little boy was about to continue digging, he suddenly noticed a noise outside Zhuangzi.

Curious, he brushed aside the leaves and saw the unforgettable sight of his life.

Men and horses wearing armor, carrying spears, and holding various banners walked down from the undulating hills, and they walked out of the path, parted the grass, and appeared in the sight of the people of Dujiazhuang.

The little boy's eyes widened, nervously looking at the murderous army in front of him, and his eyes fell on the banners one by one.

The first is a huge straight word, and followed by Li Yan, the Royal Forest Army and other banners.

The little boy ran out quickly, ran into the courtyard, and kept shouting: "Seek to rise in the morning, seek harmony in the evening, it is difficult for the poor to survive recently." Open the door early to worship the king, and the discipline is happy for everyone big and small. Slaughtered cattle and sheep, prepared wine syrup, opened the gate of the city to meet the king, and the king came and did not pay for the grain. Eat his mother, her mother, and eat not enough to break the king. Don't be bad, don't pay food, everyone has a happy ......"

The Shun army successfully passed Dujiazhuang, turned north, and there was Dongmazhuang, which was already the east of the mountain pass of Delu Town. (To be continued.) )
