After hearing that Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, was defeated and that the Qing army Wu Sangui had approached Yongchang City, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, was worried that the holy car would be in danger, and immediately led more than 6,000 soldiers to Yongchang to escort him. On the 28th, the Jin king's soldiers broke through the defense line of the Qing army's Hu Guozhu in the north of Yongchang City and rushed into Yongchang City. Knowing that Li Dingguo personally led the army to arrive, Wu Sangui did not dare to despise it, and hurriedly ordered all departments to strengthen their vigilance, and they were not allowed to attack the city without his military order.

The king of Jin personally led the army to arrive, Yongli was overjoyed, and took the university scholar Fugang, Lei Yuelong, Shoufu Ma Jixiang and others to the city gate to greet him. Seeing Li Dingguo, the king of Jin dressed in military uniform and covered with dust, Emperor Yongli stepped forward and grabbed his hand tightly after being excited, and said in a trembling voice: "The king of Jin told me the truth, is the Qing army outside powerful?" Am I still alive? ”

Seeing the emperor's frightened appearance, Li Dingguo sighed in his heart and comforted Emperor Yongli: "Don't worry, although Yongchang is surrounded by Qing soldiers, the road to the west has not been blocked. But if nothing can be done, the Holy One may go westward. After speaking, he was afraid that Yongli would not be at ease, and said: "The minister personally led the army as the queen of the Holy Temple." ”

As soon as he heard that Yongchang had not been besieged and killed, the road to the west was still there, and the king of Jin personally led the army for his palace, Yongli felt a little relieved, but in a blink of an eye, he was worried and said: "There will be no Qing soldiers in the west to ambush, right?" ”

The emperor's worry made the king of Jin silent, and the sentinel reported that in addition to Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses besieging Yongchang, there were also troops commanded by Zhao Butai and Beile Shangshan, the general of the Qing Dynasty, and now only Wu Sangui's troops were seen outside Yongchang City, but Zhao Butai and Shangshan's soldiers and horses were not seen, so Li Dingguo was worried that Wu Sangui might deliberately leave this gap in the west of the city to induce him to lead his army west, and sent Zhao Butai and other troops to ambush on the way. In that case, the road to the west would be very dangerous. However, even if Wu Sangui laid an ambush on the way to the west, Li Dingguo had no other choice but to grit his teeth and go west, because Yongchang City was no longer enough, and the Qing army besieging the city had 40,000 or 50,000 people, and the soldiers and horses in the city and the 6,000 soldiers he brought were only more than 10,000 people, and the difference in strength between the two sides was four or five times.

After all, the 6,000 soldiers led by King Jin are all soldiers who have followed him for more than ten years, and their combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of Wu Sangui's department. The problem is that in Yongchang City, including the emperor, the people's hearts are terrified, and everyone only thinks about fleeing for their lives, so the King of Jin has no way to confront Yongchang and Wu Sangui at all. What he can do now is to send the Holy Driver out of Yongchang City, and only if the Holy Driver is not threatened, he can start to deploy a decisive battle with the Qing army. Otherwise, his nose would always be led by the Qing army, taking care of one thing and losing the other.

"The minister has sent someone to investigate, and there are no ambushes on the road to the west, so the holy driver can pass with confidence."

Li Dingguo comforted Emperor Yongli as much as possible, hoping that he would not repeat the scene in Zhaoqing, and abandoned the hundred officials and absconded.

Hearing this, Yongli finally really put his mind at ease, in the past few days in Yongchang, he was really frightened day and night, and he could dream that Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the city, and then dragged him outside the city and strangled him alive with a bowstring. Every time he woke up from a dream, he would cry silently when he looked at the empty room around him. is also an emperor, why is his life so bad. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty really wants to end at his hands? Is he going to become another martyred emperor after Chongzhen, Hongguang, and Longwu?

Yongli was unwilling, he thought that he was no longer afraid of death, he thought that he would be angry, but when the threat of death approached again and hung over his head again, he still felt afraid. He wants to live, even if he keeps running, keeps running, lives in fear 365 days a year, he has to live.

In this world, the only one who can keep him alive is Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, Yongli is convinced of this, so he believes that the king of Jin has not lied to himself, and the road to the west is really not dangerous.

Ma Jixiang's face also showed joy, as long as the holy car was not in danger, his Shoufu was not in danger. As long as the Son of Heaven reigns for one day, he can be the minister of the Ming Dynasty for one day. As for the rest, he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it so much. The current entourage team is very satisfying to him, those officials who are always shouting to kill him, a traitor to the country, have either run away by themselves, or have been killed by the rebels, although the rest of the people are dissatisfied with him, but at least no one dares to speak ill of him in front of the emperor. Ma Jixiang attaches great importance to this.

Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, Lei Yuelong, a scholar, Wang Yinglong, a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and others were silent, and did not show the joy of escape because of the words of King Jin.

The scholar Fugang suddenly asked: "King Jin, if the saint runs out of the Yongchang realm, where will the saint go to wait for the king of Jin, and what arrangements will the king of Jin have?" ”

Li Dingguo pondered for a moment, and said: "The holy car will go to Tengyue Prefecture for the time being, King Gongchang and I have already planned to deploy an ambush in the mountains of Tengyue Prefecture, if the ambush is successful, the Qing army will not be able to advance westward, and then I will take the holy car back." ”

After hearing this, Fu Gang nodded and did not speak, but his eyes were inadvertently aimed at Ma Jixiang. Seeing this, Li Dingguo's brows couldn't help frowning.

"That's good, that's good."

Yongli nodded again and again, satisfied with King Jin's arrangement. He was about to open his mouth to ask when the King of Jin was going to ambush the Qing army, but the King of Jin suddenly said to him in a deep voice: "After the Holy goes up to Tengyue Prefecture, no matter what happens, the ministers ask the Holy Lord not to go to Burma!" ”

"To Burma?"

Yongli was stunned, and Ma Jixiang's face also changed.

After being stunned, Yongli immediately said: "King Jin, rest assured, you and the soldiers are in front of me to use your life, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can I abandon the country and flee." ”

The Son of Heaven has already made a guarantee, no matter how credible this guarantee is, the King of Jin, as a courtier, can not say anything more. At that moment, the Son of Heaven was asked to rest first, and the accompanying officials were ready to move out of the city, while he went to the city to see the movements of the Qing army, so as to decide when to go out of the west of the city.

The King of Jin is now not only the Dinghai Divine Needle of Yongchang City, but also the pillar of optimus in the hearts of the court and Yongli, so Yongli and the officials obeyed the orders of King Jin and began to prepare to leave the city.

After the King of Jin took his guards to the city, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw that the Qing army outside the city had strengthened its vigilance. At this time, in September, the sky was cloudless and clear, but King Jin's heart was full of gloom. I don't know when, Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, suddenly came to King Jin and said what he wanted to ask before.

"There is no other way for the Holy Driver to flee west except to flee west?"

"The Qing army is powerful, and it is death to be trapped in the city, and it is death to run out of the city. Waiting to die in the city, there is no way to live, and there may be a glimmer of life if you go out of the west of the city. ”

For Mu Tianbo, King Jin didn't hide much from him, and directly said that there was only a glimmer of life when he went west.

Mu Tianbo thought for a while and said, "Did the King of Jin send someone to contact eastern Sichuan?" ”

King Jin nodded and said: "Over there in Sichuan, I would like to ask the Holy Lord to send a few internal eunuchs to contact Inspector Wen, and ask Inspector Wen to come forward to contact the Thirteen Families of Kuidong and Santan and other soldiers to enter Chongqing westward, so that the Qing army can retreat." Speaking of this, he remembered something, and said: "Guangdong may also send someone to contact it, after all, it is an elite army, if you can come to King Qin, the situation in Yunnan should also be improved." ”

Mu Tianbo shook his head and said, "It's difficult." ”

"Difficult?"

King Jin looked at Mu Tianbo with some puzzlement.

Mu Tianbo sighed and said: "King Jin doesn't know, a few days ago, when there was peace and chaos, there were soldiers who claimed to be the Duke of Yue who robbed Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the queen, the East Palace, and the Queen Mother were all there. After the saint learned about this matter, Long Yan was furious, and the queen mother and the queen mother were also very angry with Yue Guogong, saying that Yue Guogong was a traitor like Sun Kewang. ”

"And this?"

It was the first time that King Jin heard about this, and he was greatly surprised in his heart, how dare that Xiucai's soldiers rob Her Royal Highness the princess without escorting?

"Many people have seen this matter, and the queen mother said it herself, so it can't be faked." Mu Tianbo said.

"If there is such a thing, then Xiucai has done a little too much." King Jin shook his head, and said a little self-deprecatingly: "I am also sick and rushed to the doctor, just don't talk about Guangdong, they are willing to come and they can't save the near fire." ”

Mu Tianbo looked up at the Qing camp outside the city, and said with some melancholy: "I don't know if Master Guo's side has contacted Na Song, if Na Song is willing to raise troops, the pressure on King Jin's side can be less." ”

The scholar Guo Zhiqi went to Yuanjiang to contact the Tu prefect Na Song, and the king of Jin heard about it, and the emperor specially ordered him to promote the rank of governor of Na Song and governor Yunnan. The post of prefect of Yuanjiang was also taken by his son Na Tao, and Na Song's brother Na Lun was added as General Zuo Ming, and Na Song was General Huaiming. In addition, he also heard that Mu Tianbo sent his second son Mu Zhongliang to that family to join the family, thinking that Mu Tianbo's eldest son died in the Shadingzhou Rebellion, and now the second son Mu Zhongliang has a single seedling, but now he lets this single seedling go to that family to join the family, so even if Mu Tianbo is broken, King Jin can't help but sigh: "Guogong is willing to let Zhongliang go." ”

Mu Tianbo smiled, and then said with a straight face: "If you can say that Na Song is against the Qing Dynasty, why is there anything that a son can't be reluctant." If Da Ming can prosper, it is to ask me Mu Tianbo to die a hundred times, a thousand times, and I will not have half a word of complaint King Jin does not have to say anything about me, for Da Ming, is King Jin paying less than my Mu Tianbo? ”

"Me"

Thinking of his life, King Jin instantly lost his mind and his nose was a little sour. Yes, in his life, he has paid too much for Daming, but in the end, what did he get.

Outside the city, Wu Sangui was also a little distracted.

"The Yuanjiang Tu Governor Na Song and Na Tao father and son are in the main alliance, colluding with the blood drill knives of the various Tusi, and really rebelling, if they are not eliminated, the place will be shaken. And Mu Tianbo sent his son and wife to Yuanjiang Mansion as a hostage, and carried the gold and silver property to the Yuanjiang local officials, and called the Yuanjiang and Pu'er local officials to send troops from Lin'an to rob Yunnan. ”

There's another update, but it's too late to release it before twelve o'clock. It will definitely be sent after the early hours of the morning, but you don't have to wait. Tonight's income is okay, more than 500 oceans, and the daughter-in-law smiled. (To be continued.) )
