After the military discussion dispersed, Zhu Cihong left Yang Wenyue in the study and discussed the matter.

At this moment, Zhu Cihong picked up the battle report in his hand and shook his head slightly: "I can't catch up." ”

The battle report is Li Zicheng's military information. After being whitened by Zhu Cihong's main force, Li Zicheng gathered the remnants of the defeated army, and went to Zuo Liangyu to show his majesty.

Although Li Zicheng was miserable, he was chased and killed by Zhu Cihong, and only twenty or thirty thousand soldiers were left to follow him all the way. But Zuo Liangyu was even more miserable, he fled all the way south and didn't even have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers left. Not only that, Zuo Liangyu also has to endure the disparity between victory and defeat.

Originally, Zuo Liangyu could defeat Li Zicheng with the official army in the war, with countless feats and glory......

But Zuo Liangyu ran away. Betrayed allies and ran again. According to Zuo Liangyu's habitual history of fleeing, running away is not an unusual thing. But compared with the original low-hanging fruit, how not to shake the morale of the army under Zuo Liangyu? Not only did the soldiers complain about this disparity that should have been won, but now they were hunted down. Even the generals are full of complaints.

In such a situation, in the face of Li Zicheng's pursuit, Zuo Liangyu could only be defeated.

Zhu Cihong laughed a few words, but he also helplessly sighed that Zuo Liangyu was a dou who couldn't be helped.

But with such a dou, the court can't sit idly by.

Huguang Jingchu is a big granary of the Ming Dynasty, but people of insight will not ignore it. Zhu Cihong naturally knew it, so although he wanted to take Sun Chuanting north, he could only sit and watch the imperial court dispatch Sun Chuanting to pursue Zuo Liangyu.

Thinking like this, Zhu Cihong could only hope that Zuo Liangyu would cheer up a little bit, and when he saw the arrival of friendly troops, he could at least hold Xiangyang.

Yang Wenyue shook his head: "Sun Du is afraid that he will fall into Huguang for a while. Zuo Liangyu was defeated twice. The hearts of the people are lost, and their will is not strong. Never rely on ...... Moreover, I am even more afraid that Li Zicheng will merge with the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution! ”

Zhu Cihong pondered. Historically. Li Zicheng went south to Xiangyang to fight Zuo Liangyu, who had not yet been defeated by Banpodian, and fought all the way to Wuchang, causing war in the Jingchu area, which was originally rarely war-torn. The five battalions of the left side of the revolution that were originally active here all went to vote. At the moment, although He Jin is dead, the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left is very likely to see Li Zicheng's majestic appearance of chasing and killing Zuo Liangyu and continue to take refuge.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Cihong couldn't take Sun Chuanting north. Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong still shook his head helplessly: "I can't take care of Jing Chu's affairs, I have to prepare to enter Beijing!" The Tartars are very fierce, and this is the great enemy of the moment. ”

"Your Highness. Is this trip really unavoidable? Yang Wenyue looked worried, and felt a little unworthy: "Everyone in the world feels that the war in Liaodong has ended." As long as His Royal Highness releases the news that Jiannu will definitely enter the customs, he can sit on the credit of fame. When the time comes, Jiannu will enter the Koujing Division, and the division of the King of Qin in the world will still need to rely on His Royal Highness. ”

The way is that the one who is a confidant dies. Yang Wenyue was dug out of the pit of defeat by Zhu Cihong, and was so faithfully awarded the post of chief military advisor, naturally he was particularly considerate of Zhu Cihong, and felt that this could repay Zhu Cihong's kindness by one-thousandth.

"That's what I said." Zhu Cihong put the things packed in the study on the table. He opened the top letter again, drew his fingers on the paper, and said, "But Lone doesn't want to learn such a way to be named after a captive." I know, for politicians. It should be pointed to the word profit, and only profit can be long-lasting. But lonely ambitions. It's much more than that. ”

"Since ancient times, the reason why I have been defeated repeatedly by foreign enemies has been. In fact, in the final analysis, it still stems from internal weakness. Internal worries will inevitably give rise to external troubles. And in the middle of the dynasty. I have never heard of an example of the center being in turmoil, and the commander is guarding the enemy from the outside. Zhu Cihong put away the document, stamped it, patted it gently, and said: "Besides, we have won such a battle for the court, and we have to send millions of taels of internal anger to our father." How can Lone not go to such a big event? ”

Yang Wenyue bowed, and he felt Zhu Cihong's firmness: "Since Your Highness has entrusted the family to the old minister. The old minister didn't have any gorgeous rhetoric, only a few words after he had done his best to die. ”

"Take care." Zhu Cihong said goodbye and walked out of the house.

Outside, the Guards Battalion was ready to go.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, September 24.

Tongzhou.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal ends in Tongzhou in the north. It is also an important place in Gyeonggi. Since ancient times, the Jingshi has been fighting, and they have all put the handsome tent here.

Zhu Cihong got off the boat, looked up, the sky was clear, and he sighed in his heart. It's still the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, at least there is no haze.

Tongzhou City was built very strongly, and there are many signs of new construction on the city wall. It looks like it's a big fortified city.

It's just that after Zhu Cihong broke away from the brigade and became an ordinary scholar, he found some things that he hadn't seen before.

There were many soldiers guarding the city, but they only stared at some honest people and asked questions, until those few people took out the money and then happily released the people.

Zhu Cihong was wearing a Confucian shirt, and Ning Wei behind him followed closely with a few people, his eyes were blazing, staring at the places in front of him that could hurt Zhu Cihong, which made people guess that it was not easy to mess with at a glance. As for secretly, I don't know how many people have quietly let it out.

The city gate official was sharp-eyed, and when he saw this posture, he put it into the city.

After entering the city, Zhu Cihong did not stop, just glanced at the empty city, and walked directly to the Tongzhou General Military Mansion.

There was a conflict in front of the General Army's Mansion.

Ning Wei stepped forward to report his name, but provoked a mockery.

Menzi is a reckless man with five big and three thick, as soon as he saw Ning Wei take out the token of the Prince's Mansion, and saw Zhu Cihong sneaky, looking around, a pair of eyes were extremely rude. Thinking that this man didn't move at all, he was immediately annoyed and angry: "If this random person dares to say that he is the prince, then wouldn't I be too good?" Hahaha......"

"Honor!" Ning Wei's eyes sank: "It's better to clean your mouth?" ”

Seeing that Ning Wei was not mad at this time, but was still so polite, the reckless man suddenly felt that this group of people was soft and could be bullied, stepped forward, and said to Ning Wei with hot breath: "Ask to go to the master's door, you are still so ignorant, but whose owner raised you such a useless goods?" Tell you, this is the Tongzhou General Military Mansion, not a place where thieves can go wild! ”

"Punch in." Zhu Cihong's voice was faint: "It's okay not to get bloody." ”

Ning Wei immediately bared his teeth, and before drawing the knife, he stabbed it out with the scabbard wrapped in it.

After a while, more than a dozen guards on the left and right rushed forward one after another.

Before the man could react, he saw a whirlwind and the whole person was thrown into the house. Before he could shout, he saw the twenty-four sturdy guards in front of the door being thrown in.

Knock knock knock......

It was the dull sound of flesh abandoning it high and falling heavily on the ground. (To be continued.) )
